Southwest Missouri was hit with some winter weather this last week. And I got my first snow day of the school year! Yippppeeeee!!!!
There's something about a snow day that makes me want to cook. Specifically, warm comfort food. Like soup!
A favorite around here is white chicken chili.
I first tried this at a school food day and begged for the recipe. It's been on rotation at home ever since.
WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
(via Andrea Prevo and her old Methodist Cookbook)
(via Andrea Prevo and her old Methodist Cookbook)
2 1/2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken
2 (15 oz.) cans of Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 oz.) can of chicken broth
2 (4 oz.) cans of chopped green chilies
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup of sour cream
1/2 cups of whipping cream
shredded cheese
tortilla chips
In a large pot, add shredded chicken, beans (drained and rinsed), broth, green chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Stir in sour cream and whipping cream until well blended. Simmer for about five more minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, and serve with a side of tortilla chips! Makes about 6 servings (depending on serving size).
*I've even frozen the soup before........it's thaws perfectly!!!
*I've adapted this recipe from the original just a tad. See the original HERE (in a photo).

Chili looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a light covering of snow to top of thick layer of ice. Was nasty here all weekend and still not very pleasant outside. Will be so glad when all this ice melts. People in Texas don't know how to drive on these icy roads.
Enjoy your day and stay warm
Totally pinning and will be making. This looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! I love warm soup/chili on a cold winter day!
