Made from super simple ingredients that are perfectly warming during the winter months, this white bean chicken chili soup will soon be a favorite! With just a touch of spice and comforting flavors, there’s nothing better to serve during the winter!
In an 8-quart stockpot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and salt. Sauté until softened but not browned, 4-6 minutes. Once the onions are softened, add the peppers and sauté until the peppers begin to soften, 3-4 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, and oregano. Stir together until the spices become aromatic, 1 minute.
2 tbsp neutral oil (I use avocado or grapeseed), 1 medium onion, 1 ½ tsp salt, 2 small jalapeños, 2 poblano peppers, 1 ½ tsp cumin, ¾ tsp coriander, 1 tsp oregano
Add in the chicken stock and chicken breast. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the chicken reaches 160°F.
5 cups chicken stock, 1 ½ lb chicken breast
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the soup and cool slightly. Take 1 cup of white beans and mash with a fork until smooth. Immediately add the mashed white beans, remaining whole white beans, and the corn to the soup and return to a simmer.
2 cups frozen corn, 2 14.5-oz cans white beans
When the chicken has cooled slightly, use two forks to shred it into bite-size pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the soup to warm through, 5 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.
