WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI
This recipe was passed down from a friend, and now it is one of our favorites! It's great to make whenever there is left over chicken or turkey around! We pray for colder weather in California just so we can make this soup! You can substitute additional diced tomatoes for the tomatillos. If you would like the soup to be spicier, you can add some red chili flakes or salsa. Serve with these toppings for people to choose from: limes, cilantro, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and tortilla chips.

WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILI
My sister shared this white bean chicken chili recipe with me. I usually double it and add one extra can of beans, then serve with cheddar biscuits or warmed tortillas. The jalapeno adds just enough heat to notice but not too much for my children. -Kristine Bowles, Albuquerque, New Mexico

CHICKEN AND NORTHERN BEANS WHITE CHILI
Chili is one of our go-to winter dishes but there comes a time, about halfway through the season, when we tire of all our favorite cold weather recipes. If you know the feeling, we suggest this recipe as an antidote! It's got all the heartiness of your standard bowl o' red but has a couple of differentiators that make it deliciously different. It's brothy base makes it taste a little lighter as does the inclusion of chicken (or turkey, if you desire). But the seasoning is what will really wake up your taste buds-in addition to the expected chili powder, this recipe includes dried basil and most surprising of all: ground cloves. Though you wouldn't expect it, the sweet and peppery flavor of cloves goes beautifully in chili. So, next time you need a winter warm-up meal, we suggest this recipe.

Tips:
- Use dried beans. Dried beans are more economical and have a more robust flavor than canned beans. If using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Choose the right type of chili powder. There are many different types of chili powder available, each with its own unique flavor profile. For a classic chili flavor, use a blend that contains ancho, chili, and cumin.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Chili is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite vegetables, spices, or even meat.
- Let the chili simmer for a while. The longer the chili simmers, the more time the flavors have to meld together. Simmering for at least 30 minutes is ideal.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Chili is traditionally served with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped onions. However, there are many other toppings that you can use, such as avocado, salsa, or jalapeños.
