"I LOVE white chicken chili and found a recipe on the back of a Bush's Best Great Northern Bean can that; after trying several different recipes on here, I found is the best base recipe. It can be made as is but I always add garlic and additional seasonings to suit our tastes and what I have on hand. I'm posting here so I don't have to keep searching the back of bean cans or have a random label floating around :) This could also be made as is or without chicken, hence the flexibility!"

I had never made white chicken chili before and was surprised how good the taste was. My husband and I both enjoyed it. I thik I like the traditional chili better, but this is a great alternative. Made for spring 2009 PAC.

This was delicious! I, too, added some garlic, but otherwise, everything the same. I topped with a sprinkling of the cheese, a dab of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and added some sliced avocado. Hubby loved it, too!

I'm originally from Michigan but have lived in Florida for so long I find myself bundling up in a coat and hat when the temp drops below 70 and cursing myself for not having mittens when it drops below 60. I love the sun and being able to see the ocean everyday. I will do anything to be the center of attention...who wants to see me do the robot? I have a bunch of irrational fears, including but not limited to: clowns, birds (they'll peck your eyes out!), garden gnomes and leprechauns, oompa loompas, claymation, the talking baby on the Quiznos commercial, and having an alligator hide under my car in the dark and biting my leg off... Other than that I'm laid back and down to earth and try to always be optimistic and appreciate the small things in life!! On a separate note....I have recently discovered that I adore cooking, which has become an addiction now that I have discovered this site!! This suprises me being that my idea of "cooking" prior to this epiphany was ordering out and putting it on a fancy plate :) I hope to post some recipes soon.. that is as long as I remember to measure any of the random ingredients I use!! <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
