You can try softening it well in the microwave then puree it with the beans in the food processor before adding.

Super delicious, quick, and not too many ingredients!

It’s not spicy. Double check the can of chilis to make sure they’re mild.

I didn’t think it was very spicy, but didn’t add jalapeño pepper and used a small can of green chili’s. It had a touch of heat that way but not too much. It is a delicious recipe, best one I’ve ever had or made. It does Mahe a good amount but it freezes very well, just put into container or freezer bags and then thaw and reheat in microwave or stovetop. I think it made about 6 good sized servings.

This was so delicious! I made it almost exactly as stated, except used jalapeno peppers in place of the canned, and doubled the spices. So creamy and flavorful. Mine turned an unappealing beige-brown color and didn’t look as nice, but the the flavor profile was spot on. Easy to make, too, just read through and realize you need already-cooked chicken for this version.

So delish!! My new fav! I’m too lazy to get out the food processor so used an immersion blender and it was perfect!

Such a delicious soup! I doubled the spices and added a little bit of milk to stretch it further. Was a big hit; adding it to the fall rotation.
