Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add oil and onion and cook for 7-8 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Make sure to have the chicken broth handy since you don't want to cook the garlic too long or it will burn and become bitter.
Pour in chicken broth, chili powder, ranch powder, and pepper. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Add shredded cooked chicken, drained white beans, and green chilies. Cook for several minutes until heated. Taste for seasonings.
Top each bowl with Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

I suggest using rotisserie chicken to make it extra quick and easy.
If you are cooking your own chicken, I suggest poaching it or if you have extra time, throwing it into a slow cooker and then shredding it.
Make sure to season your chicken with salt and pepper!
You can use 1 or 2 cans of white beans, depending on personal preference. If you like a more brothy soup, use 1 can. If you like a chunkier soup, use 2 cans.
If you want some extra spice, dice up some pickled jalapenos and add to the soup.
