With winter coming at us, it’s time to grab the crockpot.
With our busy schedule with 4h, Taekwondo, Bible Studies, homeschooling, homeschool activities, and homesteading, it’s nice to have a warm soup or stew going in the crockpot in the morning. It makes the rest of the day go by much easier.
We love chilis, stews and soups and love having different combinations. White chicken chili is a great alternative to the ground beef/red bean chili that we have. It uses chicken, nourishing bone broth, and great northern beans. The cumin and jalapeno give it a spicy twist! We love having this with tortilla chips and guacamole on the side as well.

February 21, 2014 at 12:20 pmI struggle with finding something interesting to do with chicken. I always fall into the same rut with chicken since I serve it so often (I usually serve on the side with a veggie or sliced up in some pasta. This is going to be a great addition to our meal plan and just by the picture alone I can tell we’re going to love it!

February 21, 2014 at 1:27 pmI’ve been wanting to try to make white chili I never have but I told my hubby I wanted to give it a try. I’ve seen a few different recipes. I think I have all the ingredients for this one except maybe the jalapeno.

February 21, 2014 at 8:53 pmPinning this. I have a current recipe but frankly it wasn’t that great. I think it was because it didn’t have the sour cream. I will try yours!

February 21, 2014 at 9:26 pmThis sounds absolutely delicious! I have never heard of white chicken chili. Our chili usually consists of beans and sausage and ground beef or I have one that is vegetarian. I think my family may like the change.
I would love for you to stop by and share on my weekly recipe linky, Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen.
