Start with a rotisserie chicken, which is tender and juicy.

Use about 4 cups of rotisserie chicken for the recipe.

Chop up the chicken and set aside any leftovers for future meals.

For cooking, you can use a slow cooker or the stovetop; today, we will use the stovetop.

In a pot, add the diced chicken, white beans, corn, diced green chilies, and spices (onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt).

Pour in the chicken broth.

Heat the soup on medium heat until it starts to simmer and bubble.

Simmer the soup for about 5 minutes to ensure everything is heated throughout.

Serve the soup into bowls and add toppings such as tortilla strips, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
