Call an ambulance…I have lost my senses of taste & smell! Yikes.
Having a cold sucks for a person addicted to food.
Having a cold sucks for a person who has a hard time sleeping as it is.
Having a cold sucks for a person who just invited people over and is praying to the cold gods to remedy the situation by Saturday because she has all this fantastic stuff she needs to cook and eat and drink..phew
You know what rocks while you’re sick? Besides the day off of course (which I do not have, cry)…chili in your belly, it just seems right. The nasal passages cleared for just the right amount of time for me to enjoy this…then they closed right up on my glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
If my nasal passages ever show themselves in human form I will promptly whoop their butt.
This recipe was delightfully borrowed from a website I stalk constantly…Pioneer Woman PS….all you foodies…she is having a photography contest for FOOD pictures, so hop on over…I realize I am hurting my chances of the grand win I have planned but I am praying to the karma gods here about my cold.
INGREDIENTS
• 3 cups shredded chicken
• 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 2 whole Cans Green Chilies, Chopped
• 1 pound Dried Great Northern Beans, Rinsed
• 8 cups Chicken Broth
• 2 whole Jalapenos, Sliced
• 1-½ Tablespoon Ground Cumin
• ½ teaspoons Paprika
• ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
• Salt To Taste
• White Pepper, To Taste
• 1 cup Whole Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Masa
• Grated Monterey Jack, To Taste
• Sour Cream For Garnish
• Cilantro For Garnish
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot over medium-high heat, saute onions and garlic for 2 minutes. Add chopped green chilies, then rinsed beans. Pour chicken broth into the pan. Add sliced jalapenos. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Place lid on pot and reduce heat to low.
Cook for 2 hours or until beans are done. Halfway through the cooking process, add 3 cups of cooked chicken.
When beans are tender, mix milk with masa and pour into the chili. Cook for an additional ten minutes to thicken. Check seasoning and adjust, adding cayenne pepper and paprika if desired.
Add some Monterey Jack cheese to the pot and stir to melt.
Serve chili in a bowl. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, extra cheese
PS. Reserve a bowl for the cold gods, you just never know what will work with those jerks.
PS. Hide a 2nd bowl in the back of the fridge, aka the area your significant other will not find it.
PS. I have let my cats in and out of the house approximately 7,234 times this week…so far…yes this is off topic…but dear lord pick a side cats.

Your white chilli looks good! Thanks for reminding me of making white chili again, my daughter used to request it often! Sorry about your cold...wishing you a speedy recovery!
Made this a while ago and I can vouch for how wonderful it is to heal the sick! Good for the soul.
I hope you get better real soon!
Mmm, chicken chili is my favorite winter soup. This looks absolutely delicious, Jen. Feel better soon!
Hi Jen, Thanks for the sweet comment! To answer your question... Microsoft Paint. I open up one photo in it, stretch the canvas sideways, and paste in another photo. Done and done!
I want this for dinner! It looks really tasty.
Looks so comforting and perfect for the rainy weather we're having in Seattle.
That's intriguing, I have never come across anything like this before. I guess the closest thing I can think of is thai curry? Lovely looking pictures too.
Girl, I want some!!! Looks amazing.
It looks extremely delicious! I hope you will get well soon!!
This is really lovely and I wish I could have a bowl of it as I type. It looks and sounds delicious. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

How did you know that white chili is on my "comfort-foods-I-haven't-tried-yet-but-need-to" list?!?
You made me laugh today -- again -- hope the cold gods take pity on you before the soiree! And good luck in the photography contest.

Feel better! So true - a cold is the food lovers worst enemy!!!

These chili looks fantastic! I hope it has you feeling better by tomorrow too :) Entertaining is one of my favorites!
The pioneer woman never lets me down! And you don't either! This soup looks and sounds amazing I only wish you were feeling a bit better. I hate it when I can't smell...there is nothing worse when you're a foodie. Thanks for sharing this great recipe. I'm sending healing thoughts your way!
Hope you're feeling better now Jen. I've never heard of white chilli before but it sure sounds like it would do the trick when it comes to clearing those sinuses :) Btw I loved your comment you left about the skunks! LOL
Jennifer, can you catch a cold virtually? Now I have one, so am finishing up all the soup in my freezer and when it's gone (sneeze!) I'll have to try this one (sneeze! and sneeze! again). That's how many times I sneezed while writing this, so thanks for the soup!
Perfect chilli - sick or well!!!
Best of luck with the PW competition - not that you need it :-}
I wish you much luck in the competition. I always enjoy seeing the pictures you take.
Good luck!
i am DEFINITELY making this!
I love white chicken chili and yours looks delicious! I hope you were well enough to have a good time with your guests!
