White Chicken Chili

As I pinned the 458th recipe to my Pinterest recipe board, I chided myself and thought OK I need to actually TRY one of these once in while or what's the point?  With that being said, I made a grocery list for the most recent one I had pinned.

I had always wanted to try a white chili recipe, but hubby had always kind of balked at the idea.  So I didn't tell him what it was...just that it was soup and it had chicken in it.  Well, it was a hit...very yummy and not too labor intensive either!

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

4 cans white beans (I used Northern)

2 cans white corn (you could even use regular corn)

3 cups chicken broth

2 cans diced green chilies 

2 chicken bouillon cubes

2 medium onions, chopped (I used 1 1/2 Tablespoons onion powder)

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1 Tablespoon oregano

1 Tablespoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

4 cups shredded chicken breasts

1 24-oz. sour cream

Combine broth and cubes.  Add all spices.  Simmer for a few minutes.  Add green chilies, corn, chicken, beans (and the chopped onion, if you used that).  Cook for 15 minutes.  Add sour cream and stir.  Cook for another 5 minutes.

Normally, making any kind of hot soup in June, chili nonetheless, would not be the greatest idea.  Turns out I picked a cool, cloudy day to try it on.  It's always a surprise when I actually cook from scratch during gardening season anyway.  *wink*

I got this great recipe from Scarlett at http://www.madeitateitlovedit.com/2012/05/white-chicken-chili.html
