I really prefer thicker soups, especially pureed soups, but I love your chicken chili in the broth. It works! Love all of the goodies, too.

Mime, Thanks for comments. Our intent was to go thicker with this white bean soup but somehow morphed into a thinner broth-based soup and I’ve got to tell you, it’s pretty darn tasty!

Absolutely delicious, however I cheated, because my grocer sells “pulled chicken in his deli & all I had to
do was break the chicken into bite-sized pieces & add to the slow cooker with other ingredients. I love your recipes, recipes like these are perfect to stay off of my leg too long as I just had a total knee replacement.
Thanks for all of the hard work & love you pour into your blog!
