Alicia's White Chicken Chili

When I asked Alicia what she had brought, she said "White Chicken Chili."  I said I already had a recipe, and she asked, "But does it have only 5 ingredients?" Nope.  Winner. 5 Ingredient White Chicken Chili from Alicia Pollard 6 c. chicken broth* 1 lg. can chicken (Costco size) 2 15-oz cans great northern beans 2 cups salsa verde (or one 16-oz jar) 2 t. ground cumin Combine ingredients in saucepan, heat over medium high heat until boiling and then simmer for at least 5 minutes.
