Easy white chicken chili soup

This was so good. I made it more like a soup since we were feeding more people. It is worth making again for sure and it was so easy! Only 5 ingredients.
6 cups chicken broth 
4 cups shredded chicken (I grilled breasts)
2 cans white beans 
1 can kidney beans 
1 can black beans (or pinto if you prefer) 
You really can add any kind of bean you like. They are all very good 
2 cups salsa verde (green) (or homemade yum!)
2 tsp cumin

Optional toppings: diced avocado, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, crumbled tortilla chips (everyone at my table asked for tortilla chips go figure!)

Directions: 

Stovetop method: add chicken broth, shredded chicken, beans, salsa and cumin to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine. Heat until boiling, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 mins. 

Slow cooker method: add chicken broth, uncooked chicken breast, salsa and cumin to slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with a fork. Shred the meat and serve. Enjoy!
