Creamy White Chili

Yippee! I am starting my blog again. The last few months have been crazy... with a new born baby and all. I gotta say raising two kids is definitely different from raising one... But luckily, my kids are pretty well behaved (most of the tim) so I feel very blessed.


I missed cooking and baking so much and I feel bad that I wasn't able to keep up with my blog for the last four months or so. But I am back and excited to share some of my favorite recipes with you all. I started a blog under a new name and a new website but it got flourished with spam comments that I just couldn't handle them anymore. So I am back at my old blog address. So please, no more spam I hope.




This chili recipe is so simple and easy to fix! I'd never made white chili before so I had no idea what it was going to take like.. but like the name says, it was rich and creamy. I added some vegetables to the soup (unlike many other chili recipes) but surprisingly they added yummy flavors to the chili. Bake or buy some bread or tortilla chips to go with it.
