Spicy White Bean Soup

My friend Alisa is a FABULOUS cook! Even last night she was saying how she had just tried a new recipe. So if your stuck like me in a rut of the usual recipes here is a tasty one! Tis' the season to start warming up with yummy soups for dinner and this is my FAVORITE soup. Thanks Alisa!

2 Tbl. olive oil
saute 1 med onions
4 garlic cloves minced
2 4oz. cans chopped green chilies
2 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper
