Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté chopped onion until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Pour in chicken broth and diced green chilies. Stir in cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a gentle boil.
Drain and rinse the great northern beans; puree some with a splash of broth if you desire a creamier texture.
Add both pureed and whole beans back into the pot along with corn. Simmer uncovered for 15 to 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt along with shredded chicken until well combined.
Serve hot with desired toppings.
