January is the month for soups and slow cooked meals. This time of year my crock-pot has a permanent spot on the kitchen counter so we use it daily – and we pretty much do just that! This Crock-pot White Chicken Chili
Crock-pot White Chicken Chili
Crock-pot White Chicken Chili is one of those really simple dump and go meals. Just make sure to soak the beans in a big bowl of water the night before so you can toss everything together in the morning. Cook on low all day, shred the chicken and serve with delicious toppings. We enjoy cilantro, fresh avocado, sour cream and crunchy tortilla strips.
If you want to thicken up the broth a bit, take your spoon or ladle and squish some of the cooked beans against the side of the crock-pot before serving! From time to time we also add extras in this soup. Put in whatever extras you have around the house like corn, carrots, celery, or herbs for more flavor and textures!
