Accompanying this irresistible chili recipe are two additional variations that cater to diverse palates.

This hearty dish features an array of colorful vegetables, such as sweet corn, crisp bell peppers, and earthy mushrooms, simmered in a creamy white broth, resulting in a deliciously wholesome meal.
The third recipe takes a bold and adventurous turn with the spicy white chili recipe. This fiery concoction is sure to set taste buds ablaze with its blend of jalapeños, cayenne pepper, and chipotle peppers. Perfectly balanced with a creamy base, this chili delivers a satisfying kick that lingers on the palate long after the last bite.

Steps:
- Put the chicken stock base, broth, and beans in a large pot (I like my Crock Pot).
- Simmer it for two hours, covered.
- Saute the onions in the oil until they are gently browned.
- Combine the onions with the spices, chicken, and other vegetables, and simmer for another hour or so.
- Add the cheese and sour cream, cooking until the cheese melts in the chili.
- You might want to serve the chili with more sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, cilantro, or cheese.
- The recipe serves about four people, but I always double it, because it tastes even better the second day.
- If you don't use fresh cilantro, you might want to double the amount you use.
- Also, I have found the garlic to be low, but you can tell by my name that I love to cook with garlic.
- It was also great to substitute some of the chicken broth with beer (preferably Mexican), if you add a few shots of tequila for added ummph!

Steps:
- To make the sauce: Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, bullion cube, and chiles to a blender; blend until smooth.
- In a sauce pan heat 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add sauce and simmer about 5-10 minutes.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of sauce for filling.
- To make filling: Mix shredded meat and reserved sauce together will.
- Heat vegetable oil for frying in a deep fryer or tall saucepan to 350-375°F.
- To make taquitos: Wrap 12 of the tortillas in a kitchen towel and put in microwave for 2 minutes. Keep tortillas wrapped in towel while making taquitos so they don't dry out.
- Place one tortilla on the counter in front of you and add shredded meat mixture in a line across the tortilla on the side closest to you, but not all the way on the edge (about 2-3 tablespoons of mixture. Begin to roll tortilla around mixture, rolling away from you (try to roll as tightly as possible so that the filling doesn't fall out during frying). Taquito should resemble a fat cigar (the sides are not folded in--they are just left open). Pierce with a toothpick through the center of taquito to keep from unrolling.
- Add each taquito to oil as you go or they will dry out and crack.
- Do not crowd oil too much. I usually cook about 6-7 at a time.
- Feel taquitos with tongs as they cook. When they are hard, remove and drain on paper towels (about 5 minutes). I usually line a large bowl with paper towels and drain all of the taquitos vertically so that all of the excess oil can drain out.
- When those 12 tortillas are done, heat up the remaining 12 in the same towel and repeat. The reason I don't heat up all 24 at the same time is because the stack is so thick that the top and bottom few tortillas dry out and the middle ones are not cooked enough and will crack when you try to roll them.
- When all of the taquitos are finished, put as many as you want per serving on a plate (I usually serve 5-6 per person); top with sauce.
- Add shredded lettuce and sliced onion.
- Top that with a few spoonfuls of sour cream (or if you are like me, more than a few).
- Sprinkle with queso fresco.
- Yum!
WHITE CHILI (FOOTBALL SOUP)
This recipe comes from The Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery in historic Kimmswick, MO. My daughter named it "Football Soup" because we always make it when we have a crowd over watching the game after church! Incredibly easy, freezes beautifully, and my bean hating husband even loves it. I add an extra can of green chilies for more flavor. You can make it without the chicken for a cheaper meatless meal, and you can make it without the monterey jack cheese for a low-fat, less thickened soup (but the cheese adds a lot of flavor!)
