White Bean Chili

Contributor: taylor16

Contributor Notes: Super-easy and basic, yet very tasty chili recipe. This doesn't make "traditional" chili - it basically makes a thick and hearty soup that is filling enough for a meal. It can be made either in a Crock Pot or on the stove. And while this includes chicken and chicken broth, you could easily substitute those ingredients for vegetable broth and a meat substitute (or no meat), and it would be just as good.

This recipe makes about 4-6 servings, and it reheats very well. It also tastes particularly great when served with with crushed tortilla chips on top.

White Bean Chili


1 48 oz. package Randall Northern white beans
2 chicken breasts, fully cooked and shredded
2 cups chicken broth
8 oz pepperjack cheese, shredded or broken into small pieces
1 can green chilies
1 16 oz. can of salsa (I use Medium to make it moderately spicy - Mild or Hot would work as well)

Cooking Method 1:
Put all ingredients into Crock Pot and cook on low/medium heat until ready. Serve.

Cooking Method 2:
Put all ingredients except Cheese in a large pot on the stove over medium heat. Once heated through, add shredded cheese and stir continuously until cheese is thoroughly melted and blended throughout. Serve.
