Soup of any sort is one of my favorite meals, really at any time of the year. It’s warm and delicious and everyone can make it their own just by adding whatever toppings they like. This White Chicken Chili is one of the best for those.
There are several nights a week that this is the kind of meal that I want.
Flavorful, comforting and warm.
And it doesn’t hurt if you get to add lots of yummy toppings to it.
We have a family favorite White Lightening Chicken Chili that will continue to be a family favorite.
This one I just had to try because it was very different but looked so good. And it is. There’s so much flavor and good stuff in one chili.
