White Bean and Chicken Chili
I went through our pantry last week and threw out the expired stuff, reorganized, and wrote down everything in there. Yes, I wrote down every item in our pantry. Weird, I know, but that was the only way I’d remember what’s in there and if something was a duplicate.
Which is how I realized I had FOUR cans of cannelini beans. I think I was going to make a bean soup a few weeks ago and bought a bunch of beans for it, but then never wound up making it. However, with those beans, and the rotisserie chicken breast I had in the fridge, I remembered Alli ‘N Son had posted a recipe with beans and chicken just the other day.
I made a few changes to her recipe, both for my tastebuds and for what I had on hand. The end result was fantastic though. Way better than the simple ingredients would suggest. It’s not quite a chili, but it’s not quite a soup. A choup?

Delicious looking choup!
I LOVE soup recipes like this, where you just dump stuff in a soup pot and basically heat it up. I love making them on Sunday evenings because I am tired from getting up early for church and don’t ever feel like cooking.
I LOVE throw-together dinners! This one sounds good, even if it is a choup rather than a chili or soup =)
this looks delicious I’d love you to add this to my what we wore and made party over at http://raegunwear.blogspot.com I’ve been hoping to do a soup round up soon!
Haha, I read the directions and did a double take – wait, that’s it?! Sign me up!

Hi Amy! We met last week at the T-Mobile event. Just stopping by to say hi
I’m loving all the recipes, especially because I am an absolute disaster in the kitchen so ideas are always welcomed. I have subscribed to the blog by email. Hope to see you again..best, Maria
Yum! This looks delicious- soup is a favorite at our house. Thanks so much for linking up!
My mom makes something similar to this, and it is so good. I also wrote down everything in the pantry, and then put it in a spreadsheet. But, then I never used it
. Thanks for linking up to Must Try Mondays!
Mmm. Ive never had White bean chill before, but I keep saying that Im going to make it, then I pull up recipes I find online and they’re terribly confusing with a ton of ingredients. Im going to Pin this recipe and give it a try.
