Instructions

Sauté the onion: In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it’s translucent.
Whisk in the flour: Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Add the broth and cream: Gradually pour in the chicken broth and half-and-half, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the goodies: Toss in the rotisserie chicken, cannellini beans, corn, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, salt, white pepper, and hot pepper sauce. Stir together and heat through for another 5-7 minutes.
Melt in the cheese: Add the shredded pepper jack cheese and stir until melted and combined.
Garnish and serve: Serve each bowl with salsa and chopped green onions if desired.
