I think the reason this recipe earns the title "chili" because it has beans and meat and is a soup style dish, but that is about the only similarity between this and normal chili. This is a favorite I originally got from my ex-husband's mother and kept adjusting each time I made it until I found the way I think is just amazing....

Steps:
- 1. Cut chicken into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes and put in a large pot on medium high heat with olive oil, celery, carrots, half garlic and half the onions. Saute until the onions begin to become translucent. Chicken does NOT have to be thoroughly cooked at this stage. Add the vegetable and chicken broths and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to get everything incorporated. Reduce heat to a medium-low to low setting and simmer about one hour.
- 2. In a skillet, saute the remaining onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil until they start to become tender. Add the green chilies and spices and stir well.
- 3. Add the skillet contents to the pot with the chicken mixture and stir. Check seasoning at this point, if needed add extra spices. Add beans, corn and jalapeno and continue to simmer on low heat for approx one more hour.
- 4. Serve topped with grated cheese and fresh cilantro or parsley. Our favorite was with a dollop of fresh salsa and a side of tortilla chips.
- 5. ***Note*** I prefer to use chicken breasts in this recipe, since it is a soup there is not a worry about them drying out. If you do decide to use chicken thighs, make sure you trim them well and drain any excess fat from the pan before adding the broths. The thighs add good flavor to this recipe, but tend to add too much grease for my taste. Also, if you don't want too much heat, leave out the jalapeno and only use half the called for amount of cayenne pepper.
