Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; add chicken; stir to coat; season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken, stirring as needed, for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned on all sides. The inside of the chicken should still be a bit pink. Add onion, garlic and pepper; cook 2-3 minutes until onions turn clear. Add tomatoes, beans, chicken stock/broth, cilantro and lime juice; simmer for 30 minutes.

Serve with the toppings of choice.

4 servings.

*Canned or frozen green chile can be used instead of fresh poblano pepper, if it's unavailable.

**The lime juice makes a big difference in this soup. If unsure of the lime, serve the soup with lime wedges on the side, so that the amount can be adjusted for individual tastes.
