Equipment

1 Dutch oven

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter or bacon grease
2 large chicken breasts
1 32-ounce box chicken broth
3 15.5- ounce cans navy beans (drained)
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
3 ½ tablespoons porchetta seasoning
3 cloves garlic minced
1 medium white or yellow onion finely diced
1 7-ounce can can diced green chili
salt and pepper, to taste
red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Let cream cheese come to room temperature.
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
Add butter or bacon grease to a Dutch oven and bring to medium heat.
2 tablespoons butter
Cook onions for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
1 medium white or yellow onion
Add garlic and porketta seasoning and cook another minute, stirring constantly.
3 cloves garlic, 3 ½ tablespoons porchetta seasoning
Add chicken broth, diced green chiles, and chicken breasts and bring to a boil (this will take 5-6 minutes).
1 32-ounce box chicken broth, 1 7-ounce can can diced green chili, 2 large chicken breasts
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, covered.
Remove chicken breasts, let cool, and shred with two forks. Don't worry if the chicken is not yet completely cooked through - it will finish cooking upon adding back to the Dutch Oven.
Add some of the broth to a small pan and let cool slightly. Add cream cheese and whisk into broth. Set aside.
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
Add navy beans and shredded chicken, followed by the cream cheese mixture.
3 15.5- ounce cans navy beans
Gently simmer for another 10 minutes, uncovered, then remove from heat. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with little toasts for dipping.

Notes

Don’t skip the cream cheese tempering step; slowly melting the cream cheese into semi-cooled soup broth prevents the cream cheese from curdling in the soup.
