White bean Chicken Chili

Grandma Linda made this soup for us years ago at one of her visits to AZ. Since then this little recipe has been the winner of several chili cook offs... and the talk of delish at many meals! Because we celebrated rain today, I decided to make it for dinner and I was once again reminded that it is one of my most favorite soups. It tastes more like a tortilla soup than a chili... you'll have to decide! Enjoy!Ingredients:
1-2Tbsp Olive oil
1 Chopped white onion
1 Chopped fresh garlic clove
2 (14 oz) cans great white northern beans
2 (14oz) cans chicken broth
1 (15 oz) can white corn
1 (4 oz ) can chopped green chilies
small bottle Herdez salsa verde (optional)
2 C cooked (cubed) grilled chicken breast
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Juice from a small lime
Garnishes:
tortilla strips
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream
chopped cilantro
To make:
Grill chicken and cut into cubes... set aside. Heat oil in large pot. Add onion and garlic~ saute until translucent.
Mix in remaining ingredients, including the chicken. Bring chili to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 25 min.
It has been reported that homonee (hope to have spelled that correctly? It's not an English word!) is a great addition to this soup. It is! Go ahead and add some to yours!
