White Chicken Chili


I love cooking soups in my crockpot this time of year. This recipe is warm and hearty yet very low in calories.

3 medium onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups chicken

Cook chicken in skillet with the onions, garlic and olive oil. Once chicken is cooked through put chicken in a crockpot and add:

2 cans (15oz. each) white, kidney, black or canellini (rinsed & drained)
3 cups chicken broth
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cook on high in crockpot for 3 to 4 hours.

Top with 1 tablespoon cheese, fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon light sour cream and just a couple tortilla chips.
