  2. Add the chicken broth and stir in the cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, and chili powder.
  3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  4. Remove the chicken and shred into bite-sized pieces. Stir in the rinsed and drained beans. Cook on high for 30 minutes until beans/soup are heated through. Stir in the lime and cilantro and add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve with garnishes.
