CREAMY WHITE BEAN AND GREEN CHILE SOUP

Creamy White Bean and Green Chile Soup image

One lazy weekend afternoon right after Christmas, in the midst of taking down the tree and lots of cleaning, I threw this fast and easy soup together to feed our little family fast with minimal dishes and effort involved. Garnish with cheese or chopped onions. We got out a few chips to dip in it also. It was a hit!
