This is award winning chili! I'm not kidding. I entered this recipe into a chili contest and won! I think the uniqueness with chicken and a creamy base as opposed to beef and tomato is what catches the attention of eaters. So warm and comforting on a crisp autumn evening! Serve with crackers or bread.
Creamy White Chili
Serves 6-8
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (15 oz.) cans Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream
In a large saucepan, sauté the onions in oil until soft and translucent. Add the beans, broth, corn, chilies, chicken, and seasonings. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and heavy cream. Serve immediately.

This chili comes together so fast! In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent.
Add the beans, chicken broth, corn, green chilies, chicken, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. You could also put this in a slow cooker on low and cook for a few hours.

The creaminess of this soup is what makes it amazing! There are also so many good flavors with the seasonings and chilies.
It really is award winning, and I hope it will win you big points with your family!
