In a large pot over medium heat, sauté chopped onion in olive oil until softened (3-5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour in the chicken broth and add diced green chilies, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Rinse and drain great northern beans. Puree a portion of the beans with some broth if you prefer a creamier texture.
