WHITE CHICKEN CHILI
Seasoning Mixture:
- 1 tsp(ish) freshly ground pepper (Kinda hard to measure when you're freshly grinding, isn't it?)
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 chicken bouillon cube, crushed into powder
Soup Recipe:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups(ish) shredded cooked chicken
- 6 cups(ish) of water + 2 more bouillon cubes (because we can't buy chicken broth here and I forgot to save some when I was cooking the chicken)
- 1 can of Rotel (Both recipes call for green chiles. You can't buy that or Rotel here but someone graciously schlepped a case of Rotel down for me so that's what I used. It gave the perfect kick for me, a little spicy for some of the kids.)
- 1 bag of whatever white beans you like, cooked (Oh how I miss canned beans:( If you're in the spanish-speaking world, I used frijoles panamitos.)
- toppings: mozzarella cheese, avocado, lime juice (I actually cleaned and cut up cilantro but forgot to put it on. Annoying. Sour cream would be awesome. Why don't they make that here??? I was going to try plain yogurt but the store was out. Maybe next time. Also, one of those links above suggests Avocado-Mango Salsa which I think would be awesome. We just had mango and kiwi on the side.)
Mix all the seasoning mixture stuff and set aside. Saute onion and garlic, then add chicken, water/broth, rotel, seasoning mixture stuff. I added about 4 cups of the cooked beans, then scooped up another cup or so and mashed them before adding. Bring to a boil, let simmer - mine did for maybe 30min. Would be yum with cornbread but that didn't happen last night so I made garlic toast. I had maybe 2 cups of beans left over - I think I'll add it to the leftover soup today with some more water, might need to add more of the seasonings?
