  • 2 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp corriander seed
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 small can (4 oz.) diced green chilies
  • 2 cans (14oz.) white cannellini beans or great northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and sautee until translucent - about 5 minutes. Add jalapeno and garlic and sautee for another 2 minutes. Add spices and green chiles and stir to incorporate. Add chicken broth and bring to a low simmer.
  2. In a low bowl smash 1 can of beans with the back of a fork. Add smashed beans to the soup and stir to mix - this will help thicken the soup.
  3. Once soup is simmering add frozen corn and greek yogurt. Turn off the heat and add chicken, remaining can of whole beans, cilantro and lime juice. Season with kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite garnishes.
