Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast, chopped
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans great Northern beans
  • 20 ounces chicken broth
  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles (such as Old El Paso®)
  • 12 sprigs cilantro, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove onion and garlic to a small bowl.

Step 2
Stir chicken into any remaining oil in the pot; cook and stir until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Return onion mixture to the pot; add beans, broth, chiles, cilantro, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3
Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the beans are very tender and the chicken cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Recipe Tip

To make extra, increase the broth and beans by one can each.
