White Lightening Chicken Chili

March 31, 2014 by Jodie 9 Comments

White Chicken Chili

Happy Main Monday! Today I’m bringing you a favorite and a main dish. This has been a favorite in our house for years. We love it!

My husband, in particular, LOVES this soup. He asks for it frequently. He, for one, loves the heat involved with this soup. For the rest of the family, I sometimes will leave out the jalapeño and cut back a little on the white pepper.

I appreciate the spicy in the soup as well, but my favorite part is the tortilla strips in the bottom of the soup (those delicious carbs get me every time).

It’s just a hearty, spicy, wonderful soup. Perfect for these weird weather days that we’re having right now. I, for one, would just like spring to come. Until then, have some yummy soup!

    Looks like a wonderful recipe for chili. And, it’s a bit cold here today, this would hit the spot.
