White Bean Chili

Sorry I have not posted any recipes lately, but here is another really good one. Although it would be best for a chilly fall night, I highly recommend trying it now. This meal can be made either in a slow cooker or on the stove. (From Simply Recipe site)

2 (15oz) can of white beans
4 c chicken broth
1 T oil
3 boneless chicken breasts or ground turkey
salt and pepper
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 (4oz) cans of roasted green chilies
1 T cumin
1/2 pkg fresh spinach and/or mushrooms (optional)
garnish with lime, cilantro, sour cream or grated cheese

Saute onion, garlic and chicken/turkey (sprinkled with salt and pepper) in oil until browned in a medium sized heavy bottom pot. Add beans with broth and cumin. Cook 20 min. Remove 1 cup beans & 1/2 cup liquid, puree and return to pot. Add chilies, mushrooms and spinach, for 5-10 more min. Serve with garnishes and Brazilian cheese bread known as Pao de Queijo.
If you want you can spice it up more by adding crushed pepper flakes.
