OT: White Chili

Well, I'm trying the white chili.  I don't know how well it is going to turn out.  I think I used the wrong recipe.  I have two different ones and I am making the hardest one and I am really worried.  LOL It was supposed to be done a half hour ago and it isn't...  so far, everyone is being patient. I made one that used dry beans...  and well, my beans aren't getting soft fast enough!  It is totally not following the recipe.  My other one used canned beans.  I'm going to try that one next time! Another thing that bothers me is that the one I'm making has fresh cilantro in it.  The other one doesn't call for cilantro at all.  Well, cilantro is a very strong herb...  It said half a bunch.  I worry that MY bunch may have been larger than "THEIR" bunch (whoever wrote this recipe).  I think it has too much cilantro in it...  UGH...  Oh well, at least the cornbread will be good.  It is Chili Cheese Corn bread!  YUMMO! Got to go check the chili.  I've already had to had an extra can of chicken broth to it because it has cooked down so much!

Yum!

I thought this was gonna be a thread about a washed up rap star.. "white chili"

Dahling, you cannot have too much cilantro-it isn't possible.

It was good.  Spicy but good.  I did think it had a bit too much cilantro, but not too bad...  I served it with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.  And, of course the corn bread. The kids didn't like it, but that's nothing new.  I do think I'm going to try my other recipe some time though.

Dot, we LOVE the bush's beans version of the chicken White Chili!!!  It uses their Northern White Beans and its O So Good!!!  Matter of fact, that was one of the first things I had when I started my "smooshie" diet!!! 

I'll have to try that...

You can go online at bush's and get the recipe or recipe bazaar also has it there w/ nutrician info.  There is ALOT of protein in it, like 20 gr I think.

OK how do you make the white chili.  Tressa
