  • 1 tablespoon water (optional)
  • Toppings: chips, avocado, lime wedges, salsa, cheese, or jalapenos

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven or large soup pot, combine chicken breasts and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  3. Stir in white kidney beans, sweet corn, green chiles, green hot sauce, chili powder, onion powder, and salt.
  4. Cut cream cheese into cubes and stir into the mixture. Simmer for about 10 minutes until melted.
  5. For a thicker consistency, mix cornstarch with water and add to the pot while stirring until thickened.
  6. Serve hot with toppings like avocado slices or lime wedges.
