  • 1 tsp cumin

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan heat the avocado oil. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Once the onion has softened add the garlic, green chilies, cumin and chili powder and cook for another minute.
  • Pour the chicken bone broth, tomatoes, beans and corn into the pot and bring to a boil. Once at a boil lower heat to simmer and add your chopped/cooked chicken. Let everything simmer for about 15 minutes and then remove from heat.
