Ingredients

  • 49 ounce can chicken broth (no HFCS)
  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 2 cans Great Northern beans
  • 2 cans butter beans

  • 1/2 small can green chilis
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground oregano
  • 3 teaspoons ground cumin

  2. Put four cups of the soup into a blender and puree. Pour the soup back into the stock pot. Add shredded chicken and simmer another 45 minutes.

  4. Top with shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, cilantro, green onions (green parts only) if desired.
