can't go wrong with soup bowls!

For Guinea Pig Thursday we had Creamy White Chicken Chili in soup bowls...yum! I had a taste of this at a local grocery store try-out a few months back and loved it! Of course, it tasted different when I made it, even though I followed the recipe exactly. Our guinea pigs were Ryan's parents and little sister Heather. Everyone seemed to really like it, but agreed it was a little on the salty side. I thought it was ridiculously salty! Next time I will be skipping the salt all together. It definitely is a hearty soup - Ryan thought a little less chicken might be good. So with a couple of changes I think it'll be great next time. It was super easy & cheap to make - feeds a lot of people!

So I can't find my recipe card...but I'm pretty sure I can remember all of it...
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cans (4 oz.) diced green chilies
  • 6 cans great white northern beans
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 2-3 cans (14.5 oz) chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
I think that was it. Cook/brown chicken in large pan with oil - then add onions & chilies, cook until onion is soft. Add everything else & cook on med/high 20 minutes until thickened. I thought it would be really tasty to throw in some cooked rice as well for added texture and heartiness. So - no salt, little less chicken, and rice. The end. Enjoy!

That sounds really good. We'll be trying that one out...and thanks for the tip about the salt. I really hate it when stuff like that happens with new recipes.

This looks like a fun recipe to play with. You know, add stuff if you wanted or take stuff out, like salt. I think I would do the beans from dried beans and maybe add a little celery or maybe a little grated carrot for color and texture. Or both. I will try it. Thank you Barb.

I tried the Spicy Mac and it was REALLY good. Dad and Wellington were my G.P. and they both had seconds.

This looks delish Barb, thanks!
