Snowy Day White Chili

"I am a fan of Junior League Cookbooks. This one is from Jr. League Celebration Cookbook. Don't forget the fresh cilantro--it makes the dish! To make this dish quicker and easier substitute 4 (15 ounce) cans white beans. (1 pound dried = 6 cups cooked/1 can = 1/1/2 cups)"

  1. This was pretty good. My family voted to give it four stars. The only thing I did different was use a whole chicken so we had more meat. Also we added avocado to the toppings. Thanks for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
