Servings: 8 cups (approximately)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (32-ounce) box chicken broth
- 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup green chile (mild or hot)
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup chopped onions and cook them in the oil for a few minutes until softened. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic.
- Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken broth and stir. Bring the broth to a simmer.
- Add the beans and 1 cup green chile and simmer the soup for 10 to 15 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, lightly mash the beans a few times leaving some of them whole. This will help thicken the soup.
- Add the chicken and cilantro. Stir and simmer the soup for a couple of minutes before serving it. Garnish each serving with more chopped cilantro.
