SERVES 6

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups cooked chicken (or turkey)
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 tomato
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chopped basil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 cups Basic Chicken Broth
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 pinch of ground cloves
  • 2 (15- to 16-ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
  • Tortilla chips
  1. Cut the meat into ½-inch cubes. Chop the onion, tomato, and herbs. Finely dice the garlic.

  2. Heat the oil in a soup pot on medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook on medium for about 3 minutes, lowering the heat as necessary to make sure the garlic doesn't burn.

  3. Add all the other ingredients except for the tomato and the tortilla chips. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook on low for 1 hour (checking frequently to make sure the beans do not burn).
