This time I added cream. I've always made it without and it's still really delicious, but I really liked the creamy version. You can go either way.
As always with soup, make it ahead of time, if possible, and let the flavors blend.
WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
- olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cans (16 ounce) white beans
- 2 cans (4 ounce) green chilies
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup cream (optional)
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- additional chopped cilantro, for garnish
- shredded jack cheese, for garnish
- paprika, for garnish
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat olive oil and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for a minute.
Add salt, cumin, oregano, pepper and cayenne (if using). Saute for another minute, until fragrant.
Add chicken broth, white beans, and green chilies.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Be sure to bring the soup to a boil, otherwise the beans will not be sufficiently cooked.
Add chicken, cream, and cilantro. Cook until warmed through.
Serve topped with cilantro, shredded jack cheese, and paprika, if desired.

Do you drain the beans?
