Thai-ish Lime Chicken Soup

I'm never sure what to actually call this SOUP, my husband just says to call it GOOD! It's very simple, but super FLAVORFUL, and fast becoming a new favorite of ours.


Thai-ish Lime Chicken Soup
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
2 cans great Northern white beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups chicken broth
1 can diced green chiles
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 lime
Few dashes curry powder
Pepper

In a soup pot, lightly brown the onion in a touch of oil, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken, beans, broth, and chiles. Simmer until warmed through. Stir in the cilantro and squeeze in all the juice from the lime. Season with the curry powder and pepper; simmer for about 10 minutes or so and then serve!

TIP: I haven't experimented much with this soup, but I do know it's flavor stands on its own. You can try garnishing it with a little grated cheese or crumbled tortilla chips, or even a dollop of sour cream, but I don't think it's really necessary. Serve it with some yummy bread though and this dinner is sure to be a hit!
