2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 14.5-oz. cans chicken broth
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
3 15-oz. cans white beans*

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly cook and stir the onion until tender. Mix in the garlic, green chili peppers, cumin, and oregano. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth, chicken and white beans.

Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the mixture from heat. Slowly stir in the cheese until melted.
