Method
 

  1. Add olive oil to a soup pot or dutch oven on medium-low heat. When the oil is heated, add chopped onion and saute until the onion begins to turn translucent.
  2. Then add garlic and cook until garlic starts to brown and onion is translucent.
  3. Add oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (optional) and saute for 1 minute.
  4. Add chicken stock and can of green chiles. Thoroughly stir and turn heat up until mixture reaches a low boil.
