Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground chicken
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 5.5-ounce diced green chilis
2 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans
1 ½ cups frozen corn
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and begins to shimmer, add the onion and garlic cloves. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until softened. Add the ground chicken, salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Continue to cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the heat down to low, then add the diced green chilies.
In a food processor or blender, add one can of the beans, in addition to the drained liquid from the second can, then blend until smooth. You can add some of the chicken stock to thin it out, if necessary.
Add the pureed beans, drained beans, corn and stock to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the flavors have melded together. Stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro, then adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with desired toppings.
