Note

Garnish with sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro if desired. This chili pairs well with crusty bread or cornbread for soaking up the flavorful broth.

You can substitute white kidney beans with cannellini beans or great northern beans. For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This chili freezes well; allow to cool completely before freezing in portions for up to 3 months.
