Lime chicken tortilla soup

Here is what you need.  2 jalapenos, an onion, garlic, chicken, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, cilantro, chicken broth, white wine, and cajan spice but you can use chilli powder, a bag of frozen white corn and navy beans.
Start my soaking beans overnight and then simmer for about an hour and drain and set aside
Steam chicken breasts I added some cajan spice to mine but it isnt nessessary
Dice jalapenos and be sure to remove all seeds and white membrane because that is where the heat is kept. Dice one large yellow onion too.
Saute onion and jalapenos in hot oil looking for brown bits to form on the bottom of the pan ( they will give nice flavor until translucent.
Mince 4-5 large garlic cloves and add to pan
Add corn and continue to saute till a little color forms
Add a little Cajan spice
Add 2 cups of chicken broth (I use better than boullion)
Add one cup white wine
Shread hot chicken but putting it in the mixed with the paddle on low keep the liquid from steaming the chicken for more flavor for soup.
Add chicken and liquid and beans too soup and a little mince cilantro and juice from one lime
Mix and simmer for a little while add some more Cajan spice or salt and pepper to desired taste.
Sprinkle a little corn starch to thicken if desired.
Shred some montery jack cheese
Roughly chop some cilantro and microwave a lime for 30 seconds on medium to get more juice
Squeeze on some lime juice and top with cheese sour cream and little cilantro and serve with chips.
