A light, spicy soup that is great in any season. I hope you enjoy this recipe; my family sure does! For spicier tastes, add more cayenne or your favorite hot sauce. Serve with crackers, cheddar cheese, or sour cream.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or to taste
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 (15.5 ounce) cans white (cannellini) beans, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute chicken, green bell pepper, and onion in hot oil until the chicken is browned and the vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir jalapeno peppers and garlic into the chicken mixture; continue to cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Pour chicken broth over the chicken mixture. Stir salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper into the broth; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Stir beans and cilantro into the chili, cook until the beans are hot and soft, about 10 minutes.
