White Chicken Chili
Posted in Soups on May 18, 2011
Another favorite soup recipe that my sister-in-law Krista shared with me is White Chicken Chili. She got this recipe from her college roommate and it is simple and easy. This is a meal with dairy that we enjoy every few months as a treat, but I am sure you could find some dairy-free substitutes if you wanted.
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken, cut into half inch pieces
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1.5 t. garlic powder
1 40 oz (2 lb 8 oz) can great white northern beans, drained and rinsed
2.5 c. chicken broth
1 can chopped green chilies
1 t. salt
1 t. cumin
1 t. oregano
1 t. pepper
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1 c. fat free sour cream
1/2 c. heavy whipping cream (or half and half or light cream)
Directions:
1. Sauté chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink.
2. Add beans, broth, chilies and seasoning.
3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and whipping cream.
5. Top with cheese.
Enjoy,
Hmm…I bet that would be great with coconut milk or cream instead of the heavy whipping cream. Mmm…almost like a chili-curry. What a mix!?!!
Truth is I have never even used the heavy cream! I only ever use fat free yogurt as a substitute for the sour cream. That makes me really lame though, huh?
I’m guessing one could even use plain coconut yogurt. Mmmm…
