What We Cook: White Bean Chicken Chili ~ page 38

Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

White Bean Chicken Chili ~ page 38

Want a great all-weather soup? This one works just as well in the summer as in the winter. It it light and refreshing with chicken and white beans, yet hearty enough for a cold blustery day too. And, it is fast and easy to prepare with rotisserie chicken.

To give the broth a nice thickness, puree one can of your Great Northern beans to make a paste to stir into the soup.

Put all your veggies in the food processor to quickly chop them into small pieces. The veggies aren't the star of the show in this soup--the beans and chicken are. I love to pass lots of condiments to be added to white chicken chili: diced avocado, shredded Monterey jack cheese, cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges, and tortilla chips. Just let your family or guest put on their favorite toppings. I have never made this soup that there were not lots of compliments!
