Basic White Chicken Chili Recipe

This fantastic White Chicken Chili is easy to make and sure to warm you up on a cold winter’s day.

The huge holiday extravaganza is over. Time to get back to work and school (unless you’re lucky and somehow got an extension). January and February can be a little hard after all the excitement…..and a little cold. So I figured we’d better at least warm you all up with another soup recipe: White Chicken Chili!

This White Chicken Chili is a definite keeper – it’s straightforward, simple, and yet fun and fresh. Serve it up with some grilled smoked Gouda sandwiches for an awesome flavor combo.

Hang in there! We’ll get through the rest of the winter together!
