To make a puree, blend 2 cups of beans in a blender or food processor until it's smooth

Add olive oil to a large pot. Add the chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions start to soften about 3 minutes
Add chicken bouillon, cumin, and pepper to the onions. The spices will stick some to the pan but don't worry they will blend in once the chicken broth is incorporated. No need to worry.
Cook the chicken until it turns white and is cooked all the way through. About 5-10 minutes.
Add the chicken broth to the chicken/onion mixture. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes to ½ hour.
Add two cans of beans and 2 cups of pureed beans to the chili. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the green chilies.
Serve with sour cream, chopped spring onions, and cilantro or parsley. Enjoy!!!!

If using Canned Beans this Chili will be ready in about 30 minutes.
