Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cans Canned great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can Canned diced green chilies
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 2 cups Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the shredded chicken, great northern beans, and canned diced green chilies.
In a small bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the spice mixture to the pot and stir well to distribute the flavors.
Cut the softened cream cheese into smaller cubes and add them to the pot. Stir until the cream cheese melts completely and the soup becomes creamy.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
