Southern Living White Chicken Chili Recipe

Sharing is caring!

This Southern Living White Chicken Chili Recipe is simple and easy to make. This dish has two hacks that make it a quick weeknight dinner you can throw on the table when you need something warm and delicious.

For me, a good staple soup recipe is important during winter. It is quick and easy to prepare and warms you to the bones when you need something comforting. This is a slight variation from my White Chicken Chili Recipe.

How to Make White Bean Chicken Chili Recipe

For this white chicken chili soup, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped (2 tsp.)
  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (from 2 rotisserie chickens)
  • 2 (14 1/2-oz.) cans chicken broth
  • 2 (4 oz.) cans of chopped green chiles
  • 1 (1 1/4-oz.) pkg. white chicken chili seasoning mix
  • 3 (15 1/2-oz.) cans of white beans (such as navy beans), drained, rinsed, and divided
  • Toppings: Sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh cilantro leaves, and chopped avocado

The best hack for this soup to get it on the table fast is to use a rotisserie chicken. It cuts down the time to half and can make this a 30-minute dinner idea.

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until onion softens, about 4 minutes.

Stir in chicken, broth, chiles, seasoning mix, and 2 cans of the beans. Coarsely mash the remaining 1 can of beans; stir into the chicken mixture.

Bring to a boil over high. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.
