Instructions
- Using a large pot set over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until done, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it to the side. Remove some bacon grease, but leave the majority.
- In the same pot; add chopped onion to the bacon grease. Cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno, and cook until fragrant.

- Puree or crush ½ cup of the white beans into a paste.
- Add the shredded chicken, cooked bacon, remaining white beans, corn, and peas into the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in sour cream.
