White Bean and Chicken Chili

White Bean and Chicken Chili

Ever tried and tried to find a recipe for a favorite food? I absolute love white bean and chicken chili, but had never found a satisfactory recipe. My problem is that often the recipes are too bland.

No longer! I decided to be proactive and create my own recipe and this is my absolute favorite white bean and chicken chili I’ve ever eaten! not with this recipe!

You can serve this soup with tortilla chips and cheese or just eat it plain–which it will never be! Since this is one of my favorite foods, take a listen to “My Favorite Things” played by jazz saxophonist John Coltrane.
