I wanted an easy white chicken chili recipe that tasted like it took you all day to prepare, but didn’t take long at all to make. With a total cook and prep time of about 30 minutes, I think this fits the bill.
Combine 1/2 cup chicken stock and the beans in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside. Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in cumin, cayenne and green chilies. Stir in remaining 1 cup of chicken stock and bean mixture. Increase heat to medium high and bring mixture to a boil.
Stir in chicken, salt, pepper, lime juice and cilantro. Decrease heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Serve with desired toppings.
