1. In a 6 quart Dutch oven or stockpot, saute onions and garlic in olive oil and lime juice over medium-high heat; cook until onions are fragrant and translucent.
2. Add in already cooked chicken, chicken stock/broth, beans, chiles, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, stirring often; reduce heat to a simmer; simmer uncovered 30-45 minutes, or until it's the desired thickness, stirring occasionally. Letting it simmer for a full hour lets all the flavors blend fully and to get a nice thickness. It could be ready to go after 30 minutes, if in a hurry.
3. Turn off heat; stir in the cubed cream cheese, stirring constantly until cream cheese melts and incorporates completely; stir in heavy cream.
4. Top individual servings with desired toppings.
**If wanting to make this in a slow cooker, complete step 1 above, then add all the ingredients to a large slow cooker. Cook on Low 6-8 hours or High 2-4. When hot and thickened as desired, continue with step 3.
10-14 servings.
