Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Pour in chicken broth. Stir in cannellini beans, corn, cooked shredded chicken, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and sour cream until well combined and heated through. Do not boil after adding cream.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
