  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 (15 oz) cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened and cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
