No kidding: I just deleted my old “white chicken chili” from the site because this one is so much better in my opinion. I made it several times and tweaked it before posting here, but wanted to make sure there was a spot for it on the blog for easy reference, because I love it, oh so much!
I saw the original version of the recipe on @_cooklikeamother IG and tweaked it from there. (Lauren has lots of great easy recipes that are crowd pleasers- check out her cheesy hash brown recipe for sure!)
I use a shredded, de-boned rotisserie chicken for this recipe, well because it’s easy. Protip: costco sells rotisserie chickens already shredded and packaged for you!
You can top this chili with traditional toppings, or add noodles. Personal preference, ppl. Now lets get to biz: here’s the recipe.
White Chicken, Corn & Poblano Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 large Poblano Peppers, chopped
- 1 large red onion, diced
- 2 16 oz. cans White Cannellini Beans
- 2 4 oz. cans diced green chilis do not drain
- 1 16 oz can cream corn
- 1 26 oz can whole kernel corn drained
- 5 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1/4 c flour
- 2 32 oz boxes Chicken broth or stock
- 2 heaping Tbsp Better than Bouillon, Chicken base
- 1 8 oz block Cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to your liking
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil or butter
Instructions
- In a soup pot, heat your oil or butter.
- Add onion and poblano, cook over medium heat until onions are translucent.
- Add in your diced green chilis and garlic. Let cook for 2-3 more minutes.
- Sprinkle your flour over this veggie mixture and stir, until it just starts to barely brown.
- Add your corn, cream corn, beans, chicken stock, bouillon base and seasoning.
- Let simmer for about an hour. Add in your chicken and cream cheese. Stir until the cream chees is dissolved. (It will melt easier if you cube it up before dropping into the pot. You may need to smash bits up against the side of the pot to get them to thin out.)
- Serve with toppings and/or noodles. Or don't. You do you!
