Spicy White Chili



It's January! I get it!  I have complained about not having a real winter in the mountains and then winter arrived...in full force.  The highs all week are in the 20s and the wind chill factors are in the negatives.  As of right now, the temperature is 19, with 20 mile per hour winds, and a windchill of -4!!  BRRR!! Winter equals soup in my house and we have been eating a LOT of soup lately (note my recent posts!!)

Anyway, this soup is a great way to chase away the chill and is super simple.  This recipe uses McCormick white chili seasoning packet.  (Why reinvent the wheel, right?)  I just doctor it up and add a little personality. 

Ingredients:
McCormick White Chili Seasoning Packet
Chicken Broth
Chicken (not pictured), cut into bite sized pieces
Diced tomatoes with green chilies
Onion, diced
Corn
Cannellini Beans

Step 1:  Heat oil in Dutch oven.  Add onions and 3-4 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces.  Cook until chicken is no longer pink.





Step 2:  Add seasoning packet.  Stir until chicken is coated with seasoning.




Step 3:  Add beans, corn, and tomatoes.






Step 4:  Add chicken broth.  Add until soup reaches the consistency desired.  Stir well.  Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes.





Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.  Fresh cilantro would be yummy too!!  This soup is a hit with the whole family.  If your family is large or you want to freeze the soup, simply double or triple the recipe.  Enjoy!!
