• Yield 4 servings
• Ready in 25 minutes
• Prep 10 minutes
• Cook 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 2 cans (14.5-ounces each) Great Northern Beans (or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained)
• 2 cups cooked diced chicken
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 3/4 cup salsa
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
• Optional toppings (cilantro, olives, tomatoes, sour cream, avocados)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the remainder of the ingredients, except the cheese. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat so the soup is simmering but not vigorously boiling and add the cheese one small handful at a time, stirring to let each addition melt before adding the next.
3. Give the soup a good stir making sure all the cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve with additional toppings (optional): crushed tortilla chips, olives, sour cream, avocados, cilantro, tomatoes.

The pot thickens as it sits. Add a spoon of water if you reheat it.
