A Warm White Winter

This is one of my favorite recipes from Susie A.  It's  so easy to throw together and  is perfect for a cold winter day.

White Chicken Chili

6 cans great northern beans (do not drain)

2 cans chicken broth (4 C.)

2 onions, chopped

1 1/2 t. minced garlic

4 C. cooked, cubed chicken (grilled chicken is fabulous in this, but you can use any cooked, or canned chicken)

24 oz. sour cream (any variety - fat free works well)

2 t. cumin

2 small cans chopped green chilis

1 1/2 t. oregano

1/4 t. cayenne pepper (I usually just put in a couple drops of tabasco sauce)

1 - 2 t. salt

1/2 t. white pepper (I never have this, and just use a bit of fresh ground pepper)

Boil beans, garlic, broth, and onion. Simmer for at least 15 minutes.  Add chicken and rest of ingredients. Simmer for 1 hour.  Serve with grated cheese (monterey jack) and tortilla chips. Makes 12 large servings. 

This recipe can be halved and it freezes well.  If you make the full recipe you'll need a HUGE pot. I've also made this by boiling the beans, etc. on the stove and then adding everything to the crock pot and heating for a couple hours in there. Makes a great "busy day" meal.
