Preparation

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, then add onion and jalapeño. Sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and sauté 1 minute.

Add chicken to the pot along with broth, enchilada sauce, beans, corn, tomatoes with green chilies, and spices. Simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
