White Chicken Chili
I saw this White Chicken Chili on Down Home with the Neelys.
It made me think that I want a cooking show with my husband. It would probably be a disaster – not in an absolutely horrible way though; more like awkward Matt because of cameras and me cooking my happy life away. Haha.
We made this Sunday night for dinner, and it was delicious!
Matt is my sous chef and chops my onions because they make my blue eyes cry.
This soup was perfect on a cold, rainy day and packs more of a punch with the jalapenos and poblano (or pasilla as I found at the store) peppers. Don’t worry though, I’m a mild girl and I still loved it.
Recipe tips and variations:
- Drain and Rinse: Drain and rinse the canned white beans ahead of time and then in a medium bowl, mash half of the beans with a potato masher until chunky and set aside until needed.
- Chop/Mince ahead: Multiple ingredients (listed below) need to be chopped ahead of time for easy cooking.
- jalapeno minced
- poblanos chopped
- onion chopped
- garlic minced
- limes juiced & sliced into wedges
- cilantro chopped
- Skin the Chicken: Grab the bird and completely remove all skin. Shred the meat for later and set it aside.
