My Mother's White Chili

My Mom made this for me today for lunch and it was so delicious that I must make it again soon.

6 cups chicken broth
2 15 oz cans white beans, or 1 cup dried (soaked overnight)
4 cups chicken breast, cooked and chopped
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped and sauteed in olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 4 oz cans jalapenos or 6 fresh halapenos diced (up to your spice requirements)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cheese for garnish

I would garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with warmed soft shell tacos.

Combine all ingredients in stockpot (except cheese).  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1/2 to 1 hour, or longer. Garnish with cheese and serve.
(Serves 6)
