1 yellow onion finely diced
1 jalapeno finely diced
1 green bell pepper finely diced
2.5 tsp taco seasoning
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp minced garlic
3 cups chicken broth
2 cans white beans, rinsed and drained
1 tsp salt
2 cups pulled chicken from a rotisserie tossed
1 can diced green chilis
Heat oil in a pot over medium high heat and add the jalapeños followed by the onions, celery and bell peppers. Cook until soft and add the garlic, cumin and taco seasoning.
Tip: Don’t have time to chop? You can skip the green peppers and jalapeños and it will still be delicious!
After a few minutes add one can of beans, all of the broth and bring to a simmer. Transfer one can of beans a few ladles of broth to a bowl or container and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
Pour this back in the pot and add the chicken, green chilis, corn, and cream cheese.
Tip: Want to make it vegetarian? Skip the chicken and use a mix of pinto and white beans.
Serve in bowls topped with Tillamook Triple Cheddar Blend Shredded Cheese, pico de gallo, scallions and more toppings of your choice.
