- 2 garlic cloves, pressed

- Add onions and saute until tender but not browned.
- Add garlic and stir briefly.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir until absorbed.
- Add cumin and stir again.
- Slowly add chicken broth, stirring, until it is heated through and starting to thicken.
- Add the cream and continue to cook and stir until starting to simmer.
- Don't allow to boil or the cream may curdle.
- Add the chiles, salsa, beans and chicken and bring to a slow simmer.
- Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Just before serving, add the cheese and stir in until melted.
