Dice the onion, mince the fire roasted peppers. Add the chicken, broth, salt, peppers, white pepper, cumin and garlic to the pot and bring to a boil. Simmer 15 minutes.

Dice the ham and simmer 15 minutes. Take the chicken out and shred-chop the chicken. Add back to the pot. Add the beans and simmer covered for 20 minutes.

Melt the butter and mix the flour well. Add the paste to the pot while it simmers and stir constantly to thicken. If using jalapeno peppers serve with each individual taste. I hope you enjoy!!!
