Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced (I used 1 cup frozen, chopped onions.)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (I used 2 frozen Dorot garlic cloves.)
- 3 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used 1 teaspoon.)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (I omitted.)
- 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 pounds chicken breasts, raw (about 3 large breasts)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2, 4 oz. cans green chiles
- 1, 15 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 can corn, drained and rinsed (I used 1 cup frozen.)
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I used 1, 5.3 oz. 2% container.)
- Your favorite chili fixins' (tortilla chips, cilantro, jalapeño slices, Greek yogurt/sour cream, cheese, avocado, etc. etc. etc....
Directions:
- 1. In a stock pot, sauté onions in olive oil until soft. Add in garlic for one minute and then add in all spices.
- 2. In a separate bowl/plate, mash 1 cup of drained/rinsed beans with a potato masher until soft; we will use this to thicken the soup. (***I did not to this. I actually put one whole can of drained/rinsed beans PLUS the can of fire roasted tomatoes in a food processor/blender and pulsed until semi-smooth. I don't particularly like chunks of tomatoes in soup/chili, so this was perfect! Note that if you go this route, your chili will be more of a pink color (as opposed to "white") because of the blended tomatoes.)
- 3. Add chicken broth, mashed and regular beans, green chiles, fire roasted tomatoes, and corn into pot. Then add in the raw chicken breasts and cook at medium-high heat.
- 4. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through; this will vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
- 5. Once chicken is cooked, remove breasts from pot. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken with two forks or roughly chop.
- 6. Add the chicken back in, along with the juice of one lime and the Greek yogurt. (I well-combined the lime juice with the yogurt before adding to soup.)
- 7. Stir all together, add salt to taste (if needed), and serve with desired extra toppings.
