Southwestern Chicken and White Bean Soup

I am not sure where this recipe comes from.  I was given it by a nutritionist.  It is delicious!

2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1 Tbls taco seasoning
Cooking spray
2 (14 oz) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 (16 oz) can cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup green salsa
Light sour cream
Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1. Combine chicken and taco seasoning; toss well to coat.  Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat.  Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken; saute 2 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned.  Add broth, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
2. Place beans in a small bowl; mash until only a few whole beans remain.  Add beans and salsa to pan, stirring well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes or until slightly thick.  Serve with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.  Yield: 6 servings (Serving size: 1 cup)
