White Chili

1 pound Great Northern Beans
4 cups chicken broth
2 medium onions, chopped (approx 4 cups)
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
½ cup diced green chilies
2 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
8 oz grilled chicken breasts, sliced into ¼ inch strips
¾ cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated

Cover beans with water and soak overnight. Drain and rinse. In a large heavy pot, combine beans, broth, 2 cups onions, garlic and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer gently 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until beans are very tender, adding more stock if needed. Stir in remaining onions, chilies, cumin, oregano, cloves and cayenne. Cover and cook 30 minutes. Just before serving, add chicken. Cook until heated through. Ladle chili into bowls, top with cheese.
