White Chili
What You Will Need:
2 TB Butter
2 c. Onions
2 tsp. Garlic (minced)
2 c. Chicken (cooked and chopped)
8 c. Water or Chicken Stock
2 tsp. Cilantro (fresh and chopped or dried)
1 can Great Northern Beans
¼ tsp. Ground Cloves
¼ tsp. White Pepper (or Cayenne)
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 c. Rice (already cooked)
2 TB Flour
½ c. Water (room temp. - not hot!)
What You Do:
1. Saute the Onion in the Butter for 5 – 8 min.
2. Add the Garlic and cook for 3 more minutes.
3. Add the Chicken, Liquid, Beans, Cilantro and seasonings.
4. Bring to a Boil and add the Rice.
5. Bring it down to a simmer
6. Make a slurry from the Water and Flour and add to soup.(This is optional)
7. Let simmer for about an hour
The Scoop:
Sometimes I will buy a rotisserie chicken for this just to make it easier but I usually have some kind of baked chicken in the fridge that I usually use for salads, if not, I just bake some Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast in the oven for about 45 minutes and chop it when it's cool. Also, the slurry just helps it be a little thicker but is absolutely optional and the soup is fine without it.
