Green Salsa Soup

Ingredients

  • ½ a rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 14-oz cans chicken broth
  • 1 can white beans (cannellini)
  • 2 cans green salsa
  • 2 limes
  • Sour cream + tortilla chips

Bonus

  • Red onion
  • Garlic
  • Extra can or two of white beans
  • Cilantro

Steps

  1. Heat ¼ cup of olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Thinly slice a red onion and gently saute it in the olive oil.
  3. Thinly slice garlic, and add it to the onion. Season.
  4. Toss in the beans, and mix. Season. Roughly stir, breaking some of the beans just a bit.
  5. Empty the salsa and cook over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and cumin.
  6. Once it’s got a bit of flavor, add the broth, bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, or until it’s time to eat, stirring occasionally.
  7. Top each bowl with a sprinkling of cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and some tortilla chips (if desired).
