Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add diced onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft.
Stir in garlic, cumin, oregano, and coriander. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Mix in diced green chiles, shredded chicken, chicken broth, enchilada sauce, corn, and white beans. Stir well.
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream and shredded cheese until melted and smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, topped with cilantro, avocado, tortilla strips, or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep.

Swap white beans with black beans for a flavor variation.

To make it dairy-free, replace cheese and sour cream with canned coconut milk.

Freeze without dairy and add it after reheating for best texture.

Adjust heat by adding jalapeños or hot sauce if desired.
