Once the oil is warm, add the onion, bell pepper and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Add the garlic, green chilis, and spices. Stir constantly while cooking for 2 minutes more.
Step 4
Add 1 can of navy beans, black beans, corn, chicken broth and chicken to the pot. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook for about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally, but not too often or your beans will break.
