White Chicken Chili

A Creamy Dairy Free White Chili!

My favorite way to make this soup is by roasting a chicken, have some of it for dinner that same day. I use the bones to make broth and use the leftover meat along with the broth for a delicious pot of soup. If I don’t have enough meat to make a big pot of soup, I just add some cooked chicken breasts. Usually I have enough soup for two meals for my husband & I.

Most white chicken chilis call for green chilis from a jar, but as per usual I like to do things a little different. Fresh peppers have more flavor, hence the reason I choose them. I like my chili soups moderately spicy therefore I chose a combination of banana and anaheim peppers. Of course green chilis will also work, it just won’t quite have the same flavor but should still taste delicious. If you like a really spicy soup sub the anaheim peppers for jalapeño peppers.

I can see that this soup will become one of our top 5 favs during the Fall & Winter Season months. Cheers to your Weekend Family & Friends. I hope everyone has a happy & healthy day!
