It has been rainy and dreary all week, but today and the rest of the week is supposed to be beautiful! For the past week I have been in a soup mood, maybe because I know when the weather warms up we won't eat much soup. We have had vegetable soup, potato soup, and chili. Tonight I am making white chili.
I started soaking and rinsing and soaking and rinsing my dry beans yesterday and they will simmer on the stove most of the day today, You can make this much quicker by using canned beans, just be sure to rinse them really well. After I have simmered the beans for an hour or 2, I will drain and rinse them one more time, the start seasoning them.
To the beans I add a couple cans of chicken broth, a teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder, a tablespoon chili powder, a small can of chopped green chilies and the leftover chicken I saved from the chicken and dumplings earlier this week (about a pound, cooked and chopped). We like our white chili a little smoky, so I add a 1/2 teaspoon or so of liquid smoke, too. Let all of this simmer till the beans are soft and serve with cornbread. YUMMY!
Happy Sunshiny Wednesday!
