“Store-bought rotisserie chicken makes this spicy chili easy, but you could also cook your own. We like it with sour cream, green onions, cheese or salsa on top.” —Emmajean Anderson, Mendota Heights, Minnesota

Great soup. Only thing I changed was because a local restaurant makes a similar soup and they roast pablono (sp?) peppers and puree them, which I decided to use instead of green chilies. I'm single, but like to make my own soups, then freeze in serving size containers for quick meals. The Senior Citizens I served this to really enjoyed it. Not to hot and spicy. Just enough "kick". Oh, I also used more chicken broth than recipe calls for.

Instead of green chilies I use 1 can of Hormel Green Chili with Pork, I leave out the corn, and add 1 cup Pace Picante Sauce (medium).

One of the best White Chili recipes I have made. I did substitute Jalapenos for the chilies and left the seeds. I chopped them up and cooked with the onions

Substituted some chopped fresh cauliflower for the white corn (approx 1 - 1.25c) and reduced salt to 1/8 tsp. Used Northern beans. I put all of the ingredients that didn't go into the broth into the slow cooker and stirred to distribute the spices. When the broth was ready, I poured it over the dry ingredients and cooked in the slowcooker on low for 3 hours and served with oyster crackers. Hearty & delicious! Has a subtle heat.

Loaded with calories, but worth every one! I left out the corn, but that was all I changed. The flavor is just excellent!

I love this recipe and make it all the time! I add at least double the amount of chicken broth because it is WAY to thick if you don't.

This is our favorite soup now. My husband, who is quite health-conscious, rarely eats more than one serving of anything, but the first time I made this, he liked it so much, he went back for seconds. The flavor is wonderful, and by cutting up the chicken earlier, it's quick and easy to make after work for supper.

My husband and I loved this chilli. I skipped the corn, used fat free 1/2 and 1/2 and chopped jalapenos instead of green chilies. It is delicious and alot less fat! Thanks for a great meal!!

I just won a chili cook off with this recipe. The only changes I made were some that were suggested by other cooks in the reviewes. I added a can of Rotel in place of the canned chopped chilis, and added an extra can of beans, and more chicken broth (I added more flour since I increased the broth). For the fat patrol I used fat free half & half, and low fat pepper Jack cheese. I am not known for my chili, so I have to give credit to the recipe.

I skipped the cream.Used flour and water to thicken, then added 1% milk.

1st time...NOT last time. I went a bit overboard and used heavy cream, because it was already in the refrig. Could have used 1 tsp. instead of 1/2 of the hot sauce. Topping off with green onions and Cilantro. This is so darn good!!!

This is amazing chili! I added more beans, broth, and used a can of mild rotel instead of the green chilies. We put chedder cheese and a little sour cream on top of the soup while in our bowl. I also used can chicken with some boiled chicken and used the broth from that. Again I can't say enough about this recipe. I'm going to enter this chili in a contest at our church this week-end! This one is a keeper! A Grandma from Colorado who loves a goood bowl of chili!

This recipe is great! It definitely has a kick! I will probably reduce the spices next time so my 2-year-old will enjoy it more. I also only used one can of beans. Quick, easy, and delicious recipe!

We really enjoyed this... I used precooked cubed chicken which I added along with the onions, and sharp cheddar rather than pepper jack - thought it might be too hot for the kids... Also served the hot pepper sauce on the side and made some cornbread to go with the chili... This is a great recipe for a busy night - it was so quick and easy to throw together!

This was sooo wonderful! I topped it with sour cream and we couldn't stop eating it! Store bought rotisserie chicken makes it a quick recipe!
