Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1-1/2 lbs)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried Mexican oregano (may use regular dried oregano)
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 15 oz cans Northern or Cannellini beans (can use 1 can of each)
  • 2 4 oz cans green diced chiles
  • 1 14.5 oz can reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (or may use sour cream)
  • 1 cup frozen roasted or plain corn
  • 1 juice of one lime

Suggested Toppings:

  • Grated Mexican cheese
  • Sliced green onions
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Sliced jalapeno (adds quite a bit of heat).  Can remove seeds for milder flavor.
  • Tortilla strips or chips
  • Sliced avocado

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium high heat and add chopped onion.  Reduce heat to medium and saute the onion, stirring occasionally until softened and transparent for about 3-4 minutes.  Add the garlic and saute, stirring, an additional one minute.  Remove from the heat.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot.  Mix the cumin, Mexican oregano, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper in a small bowl.  Sprinkle the spices evenly over the chicken.
  • Add beans, green chiles, chicken broth, and onions with garlic and stir. Place cover on the crockpot and cook on low for 5-7 hours or until the chicken is easy to shred.
  • When chicken is done, remove to a plate and shred it with two forks.  Place the chicken back in the crockpot and add 1 cup of frozen corn, 1 cup of Greek yogurt or sour cream (I use Greek yogurt), and the juice of one fresh lime.
  • Turn crockpot to high and cook another 15 minutes until soup is heated up.
  • Serve with desired toppings.
  • Makes approximately 8 servings.
  • Calories based on soup only. Add additional calories for toppings.
