Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add cumin, oregano, and chili powder. Stir to coat the aromatics and let spices toast for 30 seconds.

4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add shredded chicken, beans, corn, and diced green chilies. Simmer for 15–20 minutes.

5. Lower heat and stir in cream cheese and sour cream until fully melted and smooth.

6. Season with salt and pepper. For extra heat, stir in chopped jalapeño.

7. Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro. Optional: add tortilla chips, lime wedges, or avocado on top.

Notes

For faster prep, use rotisserie chicken and canned beans.

Add extra broth if reheating to loosen consistency.

To make it spicier, use hot green chilies and leave the jalapeño seeds in.
