Ingredients

  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • olive oil, for cooking
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 ounces green chiles
  • 1 lime, juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 15 ounces cannellini beans
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sweet white corn
  • 2-3 cups cooked turkey meat, shredded or chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a large soup pot (I like to use my dutch oven) on medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the onion and sauté 3-4 minutes or until soft, then add garlic and cook 30-60 seconds.
  • Add broth, green chillies, lime juice, dried oregano, paprika, cumin, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Drain and rinse beans in a strainer. Add them to a food processor with a splash of broth from the soup (about 1/4 cup). Purée until smooth. Add the puréed beans to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered for 15-25 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in sour cream, corn, cooked turkey breast, and parsley.
