We make a lot of “regular” chili in our house, but I love this recipe. I know my family will love it, too!

A warm hearty soup like this would really hit the spot. I think we may have to try this out on a cold day.

White chicken chili is one of our favorite chili dishes to prepare in the fall. It’s a refreshing change of pace from traditional chili.

That looks like a really delicious bowl of chicken chili. I have not yet tried making chili using chicken but I guess there is always a first time.
