<p>White Chicken Chili! One of my favorite soups. Creamy, smoky, cozy, and spicy with BIG flavor and simple ingredients. SO GOOD.</p>

Sarah's White Chicken Chili

bacon

yellow onion

garlic

cumin

chili powder

chicken broth

tomatoes with green chiles (with juices!)

chicken

pinto beans

black beans

cream cheese

Food processor prep: Pulse the bacon through the food processor until it looks like a chunky paste. Remove bacon and do the same with the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.

Sarah's White Chicken Chili Step 1

Cook bacon and veggies: Add the bacon to a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the bacon starts heating up, add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño mix so it all cooks together.

Build the soup: Add spices, broth, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.

Sarah's White Chicken Chili Step 3

Cook chicken: Add chicken. Bring to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove, cool, and shred.

Sarah's White Chicken Chili Step 4

Tie it all up: Stir in the shredded chicken, beans, and cream cheese.  The chili will be THICK, especially as it cools. It&#8217;s almost like a dip because, yes, we are monsters. Thin it out with water as you like!

Love this recipe! Had some last of the season peppers I added to the food processor and finished with some smoked gouda...perfect for q cool Monday night and will be lunch for a few days for sure! Thanks!

Truly appreciate the way you made it. And again as always a big thumbs up for this. Waiting for more such in future too.

Made this tonight and LOVED it!  I'm trying to eat mostly plant-based food, so I left out the chicken and added cooked vegan "chicken" at the end.   I also added a few drops of liquid smoke to make up for the absence of the bacon, though I sampled the chili before adding the liquid smoke and it was fantastic even without it!  This will definitely be in my dinner rotation this winter!

I love that the same blog that persuades people to love tofu understands chili w cream cheese and bacon....food is such a pure pleasure! Thx for this recipe and your beautiful words.

Mmm mmm good. Just cooked this and it is delicious.

This was tasty. I made admendments for my guy who doesn't like cumin, so I added some minced cilantro stems to the veggies.  
The processing of the bacon and veggies into a paste-like consistency is new to me and will be added to my cooking repertoire.  What a brilliant way to make a base of flavor. 
Thank you! I will be making this again.

Made this for dinner tonight. It’s so good! This is definitely a recipe I will be keeping in my soup/chili rotation.

Made this for dinner tonight and everyone deemed it a winner! So quick, easy, and super tasty. I’ve been looking for a go-to chili recipe, and this is it. The bacon really brings it next level.

This was absolutely fantastic! I only had one can of tomatoes so I threw in a jar of salsa as well and it came out so well. Husband and stepson went back for thirds! Definitely making again.

I made this last night - and we polished off the leftovers tonight!

I used ground turkey breast instead of chicken (I browned it in a separate pan and then added it to the soup). Otherwise, I followed the recipe (two jalapeños). 

This was delicious. The boyfriend said it was "one of the best things I had ever made" - so high praise because I think I've made him lots of good meals. I highly recommend the recipe. I would warn that it takes more prep time, but it's still very doable on a weeknight. I will be making this again soon.

We had this tonight and it was delicious! We are vegetarian so I used extra beans, including pinto beans made fresh in the instant pot. Instead of bacon I threw in several chopped chipotles in adobo sauce!

So so tasty! Just finished the leftovers the following day and I've already told 3 friends about this recipe. Thank you for sharing. It's so delicious

I wasn't feeling like eating meat last night so I made this without the bacon and chicken and added some corn. I also used lowfat cream cheese and it was so dreamy. I will definitely try it with the meat sometime but this was perfection on a rainy Sunday night! Thanks!
