Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth (or about 28 ounces of chicken broth from a carton)
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans chunk chicken (or 1 (12.5 ounce) can of chunk chicken) (can also use your own cooked chicken instead of using canned chicken)
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 (14 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained (I used cannelini beans)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • toppings of your choice like sour cream, cheese, olives, green onions, tortilla strips, peppers, avocado, etc.

Instructions

  • In a large pot, add the olive oil, chopped onions and minced garlic and saute for a few minutes until the onions are cooked.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients (except for the toppings) and heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until well heated.
  • Taste it and add salt and pepper if needed. Taste it first before adding any salt as the other ingredients already contain salt.
  • Add soup to bowls and serve with your choice of toppings like strips of tortillas, crushed tortilla chips, sliced jalapeno peppers, salsa, sour cream, black olives, green peppers, cheese, avocado, lime, etc.
  • This soup can also be served with flour tortillas, Spanish rice, refried beans, salad, cornbread, or whatever side you prefer.
