Super simple to make, this white bean chicken chili is made with rotisserie chicken (easy!) and a combination of quality chicken broth, fresh chopped cilantro, lots of garlic and green chilis. Serve with biscuits or bread and a side of fruit for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup white onion chopped
- 2 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 Cup red pepper chopped
- 30 oz. Great Northern beans drained, rinsed
- 4 oz. green chilis chopped, undrained
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken chopped
- 2 Tablespoon cilantro chopped
- 2 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup half and half
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, sauté the onion, garlic and red pepper on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Next, add in your beans, green chilies, spices, and chicken broth. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- While it’s cooking, juice enough limes to get 2 Tablespoons and measure out 1 cup of half and half.
- Add your fresh chopped cilantro and rotisserie chicken pieces to the soup base. Let that cook for about 5 minutes and then just before serving, stir in your lime juice and half and half. Serve hot.
Notes
Slow Cooker Instructions: Sauté the onion, garlic and peppers and put them in the slow cooker. Add all other ingredients except the lime juice and half and half. Cook the soup on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Just before serving, stir in the fresh lime juice and half and half.
How can I make this soup creamier? This soup is made creamy with half and half, if you want a creamier texture you can add more half and half or let the soup simmer longer. I recommend letting the soup simmer longer.
Can I freeze the leftovers? Yes! This soup recipe freezes well. Once the soup has cooled, place in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
Can I use other beans that great northern? Sure. You can use whatever beans you prefer like kidney beans. We just love the flavor of great northern in this recipe which is why we recommend it.
