Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small yellow onion, chopped (about ½ cup)

2 garlic cloves, finely minced (or 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder)

2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 (4 oz) cans diced green chilies

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Juice from 1/2 small lime

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 (15 oz) cans great northern beans

1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)

2 heaping cups cooked chicken, shredded

Fresh cilantro (for topping)

Shredded cheese (for topping)

Tortilla chips (for topping)

Green onions (for topping)

Avocado (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in diced green chilies, cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Drain and rinse the beans. Blend one ladleful of beans with a splash of broth until smooth (optional).
  4. Add pureed beans, remaining whole beans, and corn to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15–30 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and shredded chicken.
  6. Serve warm with optional toppings like cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado, tortilla chips, and green onions.

Notes

  • Add jalapeños or more cayenne for extra heat.
  • Substitute great northern beans with cannellini or navy beans.
  • Use dairy-free sour cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for more nutrition.
  • For a creamier texture, stir in cream cheese or heavy cream.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
