Step 1

In a soup pot over medium heat, saute the onion and jalapeno with the olive oil until soft and fragrant.

Step 2

Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil. Add the raw chicken breasts. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat, but leave the lid on so that the chicken continues cooking for another 20 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts, set aside to cool.

Step 3

Add the white beans and salsa to the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat.

Step 4

Shred the chicken and add it back to the pot.

Step 5

Just before serving, squeeze the juice of one lime into the pot. Cut the remaining lime into wedges for serving. Add the salt; taste and adjust as needed. Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
