Soup Recipe # Simple Chicken and White Bean Soup

A simple chicken and bean soup with a little kick. This soup is great on a cold evening after a busy day. This recipe was shared with me by a friend I truly miss.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast, chopped
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans great Northern beans
• 20 ounces chicken broth
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles (such as Old El Paso®)
• 12 sprigs cilantro, chopped
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove onion and garlic to a small bowl.
2. Stir chicken into any remaining oil in the pot; cook and stir until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Return onion mixture to the pot; add beans, broth, chiles, cilantro, salt, and cayenne pepper.
3. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the beans are very tender and the chicken cooked through, about 20 minutes.
