I am constantly looking for healthy ways to get more beans into my family's diet. I found this recipe on www.simplifysupper.com and we love it! I leave out the green chilies because my family doesn't like them. I also use a little bit of dried minced onion instead of one whole onion, and only 1 tablespoon of olive oil. I would also rinse your beans to remove some of the sodium unless you buy low-sodium beans, just add a little extra water or chicken broth to make up for the lost bean juice. I would also recommend a low-sodium/low-fat chicken broth. This soup is great on a cold day!
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
1 package frozen white corn, 9 ounces
2 cans Great Northern beans, undrained
7 ounces green chilies, diced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon Oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
3 cups Chicken broth
3 tablespoons lime juice
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add cooked and chopped chicken, corn, beans, green chilies, spices, broth, and lime juice. Stir until well blended. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with sour cream, corn chips, and grated cheddar cheese.
