I am obsessed with Tex-Mex vibrant and tasty cuisine. You might have tried some recipes like Chicken Fajitas, Guacamole, Pico de Galo, Enchiladas, Nacho cheese sauce. These dishes are fantastic! Today I am going to share my favorite recipe for the most hearty, satisfying Tex-Mex soup- White Chili Chicken.

white-chicken-chiliIngredients for White Chicken Chili

To make this easy creamy white chicken chili soup, you will need.

  • Chicken: I used chicken breasts, but any cut of a bird will work.
  • Beans: I typically use 2 cans (15 oz) of white beans for this soup. Both navy beans and Great northern beans belong to the white beans category and they are interchangeable. Don’t have white beans? Use Great Northern beans or navy beans.
  • Chicken broth: Vegetable broth and even beef can be used as well. If you don’t have any broth on hand, dissolve 1 ½ chicken bouillon cube in 3 cups of water.
  • Onion and garlic: They add aroma and flavors. Don’t have time to chop onion and garlic, use garlic & onion powders (1 ½ tsp of garlic powder and 1 ½ tsp of onion powder).
  • Green Chilies: I used ⅓ cup of sliced jalapeños. If you don’t like the heat, buy 1 can (7 0z) of mild green chilies.
  • Cumin powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, dried oregano, red chili are the perfect blend for this soup.
  • Whole kernel corn can be substituted with frozen corn.
  • Low fat cream cheese: Use cream cheese or sour cream.
  • Half and Half: It helps to thicken the soup, adding the creamy texture and less calories than cooking cream.
  • Corn starch: I really like thick white chicken chili and always add 1-2 tbsp. of cornstarch dissolved in half and half.
  • Fresh cilantro: If you don’t like cilantro, substitute with parsley or leave it.
  • Toppings: Top with some sliced/diced avocados, fresh cilantro, fresh diced tomatoes, corn, tortilla strips, grated Monterey jack cheese, sour cream and jalapeños if you crave something spicier.

Don’t add cream and half & half if you plan to freeze it otherwise after defrosting the soup will have a grainy texture. You can add cream cheese and half & half when reheating.
