- Cook time: 10 mins.
- Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 15-oz cans Great Northern beans, drained

- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 California avocado, diced
- Topping suggestions: chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, crumbled tortilla chips
- Recipe Note: 4 cups shredded chicken is equivalent to approx. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If you use raw chicken breasts in the slow cooker method, shred them once the soup and chicken are fully cooked.
Directions:
Stovetop Method:
- Add chicken stock, shredded chicken, beans, salsa and cumin to a large stockpot; stir to combine
- Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for at least 5 minutes

- Add chicken stock, chicken, salsa, and cumin to slow cooker, stir to combine
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours
- Add the beans during the last half hour of cooking
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed
- Serve warm with sliced avocado and other desired toppings
Instant Pot Method:
- Add chicken stock, chicken, salsa and cumin to an Instant Pot pressure cooker, and stir to combine
- Close lid securely and set vent to “sealing”
- Press “Manual”, then press “Pressure” until the light on “High Pressure” lights up, then adjust until the timer reads 8 minutes, and cook
- Once the soup has cooked, very carefully turn the vent to “venting” for quick release, and wait until all of the steam has released and the valve has dropped
- Remove the lid, and stir in the beans
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed
- Serve warm with sliced avocado and other desired toppings
