White Chicken Chili
My first taste of White Chicken Chili was a few years ago at a family gathering. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I say “surprised” because I’m not someone who enjoys food that is heavily spiced with heat to the point that you don’t enjoy it. Spice I welcome, heat from jalapenos, not so much.
I used canned chilies in the recipe instead of jalapenos, if you like heat, you can certainly tweek this recipe with more to suit your tastes. That’s the beauty of recipes, especially soups, you can make them your own. If your worrying about whether or not your children would enjoy the spices in the chili, don’t. Adding a dollop of sour cream and stirring it into the chili before serving it to them smooths out the spices and the chilies. It adds a creaminess and richness that’s just amazing.
The toppings you can use to embellish the chili are only limited to your imagination. Here are just a few:
- Shredded Cheese – Monterey Jack , Cheddar
- Tortilla chips or Strips
- Cornbread
- Avocado
- Spring onions
White Chicken Chili is going on my list of delicious easy recipes to make on a regular basis. I’d be crazy not to, this one’s a keeper, ENJOY!

Loved it! My husband said you can make this again anytime you want!
Thank you Susan
Thank you Susan, I loved it too!!
I see the word “chili” and think of my Dad’s Chili con Carne or Green Chili with Pork. I love them both. Like you, I was a little reluctant on this one, because it is a new entry on the chili scene,but it was wonderful! I am not a heavy spice person either but the canned green chilis are perfect and you can adjust the heat with those and the cumin. Great addition to the chili recipes!
