Instructions
In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, add pinto beans, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with juice, shredded chicken, green enchilada sauce, diced green chiles, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the soup is too thick, add additional chicken broth.
Serve hot in individual bowls. Garnish with sour cream, tortilla chips, and avocado slices. Optional garnishes include chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, or lime wedges.
