1 TBS grapeseed or olive oil
1 cup chopped Vidalia onion

3 cloves fresh garlic (or 2 TBS garlic paste) minced
1 can green chilies
1 TBS chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon oregano
Pinch cumin add more if you enjoy the flavor of cumin
Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
30 oz chicken broth
2 cans cans small white beans (14 oz. cans), drained and rinsed dump your beans into a colander and rinse them off.
2 cups fresh or frozen corn
6 ounces cream cheese
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 heaping cup (or more) shredded chicken
1 TBS fresh lime juice
a couple shakes of Tabasco
1 teaspoon chicken bullion optional, for a more rich flavor

In a soup pot, sauté onions just until translucent. 2-3 minutes.
Add in jalapenos, chilies and garlic and sauté 1 minute more.
Add in spices, seasoning and broth and stir until combined.
Add in beans and corn and then bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, add in cream cheese, stirring until it melts into the chili.
Turn heat to low and add in heavy cream and shredded chicken. Stir until combined and then taste and adjust seasoning.
Add fresh lime to brighten the chili. If you want it thicker, allow it to simmer on low a little while longer. If you want it thinner, add additional broth.
Spoon into bowls and enjoy as is or garnish with cilantro, parsley, scallion, or shredded Pepper Jack or Cheddar cheese.
