Instructions

In a large pot over medium-high heat, sauté chopped onion in olive oil for 3–5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour in chicken broth and diced green chilies. Stir in ground cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Drain and rinse great northern beans; add to the pot along with corn.
For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the drained beans with some broth until smooth (optional).
Simmer uncovered for 15–30 minutes until heated through.
Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and shredded chicken until well combined.
Serve hot with garnishes like cilantro, cheese, avocado slices, and tortilla chips.
