30 Minute White Chicken Chili

This is probably the 99,987th time I’ve mention this, but I seriously {love} the Fall! The beautiful colors, crisp air, hoodies, pumpkin treats and of course the ultimate comfort food … warm soup or chili!

Every year, just a little bit too early I get overly excited and make soup every night for a few weeks. Luckily my husband and kids are good sports and enjoy it along with me, while pretending the temperature outside is about 20 degrees cooler. 🙂

I’ll be posting lots of my favorite recipes in the new few weeks so that you can enjoy them too. Vegetarian Chili & Healthy Cornbread are regulars at our house, but this White Chicken Chili is probably our absolute favorite.

It’s another Pioneer Woman recipe that I edited a little bit. Her version cooks for like 3 hours, which is not a big deal, except that I can never remember to start dinner in the middle of the day. So, I did a little busy mom adapting so that this amazing chili can be on the table in 30 minutes. You’re welcome. 😉
