I love the contradictions that happen with this soup. Like, it’s soft but chunky. The sour cream and milk give it a soft consistency, but the beans and shredded chicken make it chunky. It’s smooth but spicy – same story with the sour cream contradicting the spice from the green chilies. It’s these contradictions that make for a perfect bowl of soup!
