One of my favorite Fall/Winter Dishes is Chili. I haven’t shared my beef chili recipe yet. But this White Chicken Chili is SO good. It’s creamy, but dairy free and so nourishing for the body. I highly recommend using bone broth, either store bought or homemade. This is an excellent store bought bone broth option. This is so comforting and warming on a cold Autumn or Winter day. For a shortcut use a rotisserie chicken OR cook a whole chicken in the Instant Pot. You can also make this soup adding whole (boneless, skinless) chicken thighs and removing them at the end to shred. The longer the simmer the flavorful the soup becomes. This is perfect for leftovers to use for lunch throughout the week. Don’t be intimidated by the long ingredient list, most of the items are vegetables and/or spices 🙂 Don’t have a dutch oven? Here is a great, low price everyday dutch oven.
A note about spice: If you don’t like spicy food, reduce the green chilies and omit the jalapenos. I like to top my chili with pickled jalapenos.
