Crock Pot White Chicken Chili

Another delicious family favorite soup! Doesn’t get any easier than white chicken chili in the crock pot made with canned ingredients. Keep them on hand and you’ll be able to make this soup in 5 minutes any time. Just dump all the ingredients in and either cook it on low or high depending on how soon you need to eat.

Here’s how I make this super easy Crock Pot White Chicken Chili:

1. Before I go to bed at night I put 1 lb of great northern beans in the crock pot and cover it with several inches of water. Cook on low.
2. In the morning I drain the water out of the crock pot (it’s ok not to get all of it out, just pour out what you can.)
3. Then I add the rest of the ingredients: canned chicken (with water), corn, green chilies, chicken broth, and all the spices.
4. Turn on high for a few hours and it will be ready for lunch!

A few notes about Crock Pot White Chicken Chili:

1. To make it for dinner, cook the beans on high from like 8-11am. Then add the ingredients and cook on low until dinner time.
2. You can also use canned beans. I never have before, but I estimate it would take 4 cans of great northern beans. You can drain them and use more chicken broth or not drain them and use less, but more salt.
3. I usually cook about 3-4 lbs of beans at a time and scoop them out into ziplock bags and freeze. Then when I want to make this in a hurry and don’t have time to cook beans (say less than 2 hours), I will grab a bag of beans out of the freezer. Beans are so easy to cook and so much cheaper dried than canned, that I can’t bring myself to ever buy or use canned beans. So if you’re not good at planning ahead, once a week cook several pounds of beans and freeze or store in the fridge and use all week for adding to salads, taco meat, soups, sloppy joes, etc. If using frozen beans, thaw under hot water while you add everything else. Then dump the beans in and cook on high an hour or two. The longer the better for mingled flavors. However, since everything is cooked, it’s fine to only cook for 1 hour also if you’re pressed for time.
4. Having said that, the leftover soup is the best because the flavors have mingled the longest.

A few more notes about this tasty white chicken chili:

1. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips or Fritos. We also eat with a small side salad and glass of cold milk.
2. You can make it spicy by using hot green chilies.
3. Want it healthier? Use:
   • organic free-range chicken (perhaps buy whole from a farmer and cook and de-bone.)
   • organic chicken broth (or make your own)
   • organic corn
   • organic or homegrown spices
   • raw cheese
   • organic or homemade tortilla chips.

I hope you love this soup as much as we do!! It’s definitely a go-to meal for us. Remarkably, every child in our family loves it!

Have to add that this crock pot is great! I love it. It has every function I need: slow cooker, timer, yogurt, pressure cooker, and can be used as a regular pot boiling water or cooking ground beef. I love it!
