Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6)

1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce

1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle-in-adobo sauce without chiles (from a 7-ounce can)

3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)

2 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)

Kosher salt

2 cans (each 15.5 ounces) white beans, rinsed and drained

Sliced radishes, tortilla chips, and diced avocado, for serving

Preparation

In a large pot, combine chicken, tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce, carrots, celery, 6 cups water, and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, skimming surface if needed, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool slightly. Shred into bite-size pieces and return to pot, along with beans. Bring to a simmer. Cook 15 minutes, using the back of a spoon to mash some of beans into broth. Stir in more chipotle sauce to taste, if desired. Serve soup topped with radishes, chips, and avocado.
