1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 medium onion, chopped

4 large cloves garlic, minced

1 4.5 oz can  diced green chiles, mild or hot

1 tablespoon cumin, powder or seed

2 teaspoons oreagno

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 15.5 oz can  great northern beans, do not drain

1 15.5 oz can sweet corn, or frozen

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped

5 cups chicken broth

monterey jack cheese, shredded

sour cream

tortilla chips

In a large pan (or Dutch oven), combine oil, onion, garlic, and green chiles. Saute until tender, but do not brown. Stir in spices, beans, corn, chopped chicken and chicken broth. Cook and stir until heated through. Adjust seasonings to taste. 

Serve in bowls with cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips. For extra kick, garnish with jalapeno slices.
