- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2–2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth

- Add the chicken broth, great northern beans, corn, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. Start with 2 cups of broth and add more as needed to reach desired consistency.
