Dave is having a "bring it in a pot" supper at church tomorrow night and wanted me to make White Chili. I've got to go to Baldwin County, so I went ahead and made it tonight. He can simply reheat it tomorrow. Matt also wanted to make some for his roommates, so I figured I'd put up the recipe online so he would know how to make it too.
Just a quick side note about Matt's German roommates. They live in an apartment that sits on the back of a complex and overlooks some wetlands. They recently noticed some baby alligators and other animals around the area. They got all excited earlier this week when they noticed a really wierd looking turtle. Matt went to take a look and said it turned out to be an armadillo. He explained it was an armadillo and threw a stick at it to show them. It jumped up and curled into a ball. They thought it was funny. Now they know that we don't have wierd turtles in America; we have armadillos.
White Chili
1 large onion, chopped
1/4-1/2 c. butter
3-4 tsp. cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. white pepper
3 cans white chicken meat, drained (or 1 lb. fresh cubed chicken breast, cooked)
4 c. chicken stock/broth
2 c. milk
1 4-1/2 oz. can chopped green chiles
1 tsp. jalapeno pepper, chopped (or 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped)
2 cans white beans (Great Northerns, cannellini, or navy), rinsed and drained
Melt butter in pot.
Add onions and garlic and saute.
Add cumin, salt, and pepper.
Add green chiles and jalapeno peppers.
When onions and peppers are tender, add shredded chicken and mix together.
Add chicken broth, milk, and beans. Simmer.
Top with sour cream and/or Parmesan cheese. Serve hot. That's what's for supper.
(This looks a little greener than normal because I added some leftover bell pepper. Delicious nonetheless.)

Yes, it surely does look delicious. How very sweet that you made it ahead of time! And, I'm very impressed that your son can follow a recipe and cook for himself. Getting him ready to bless the life of a very lovely lady! Way to go, mom.
I raised two girls. One took to the kitchen cooking and preparing meals kicking and screaming! She got home from school before 4 and I didn't get home from work until 6. It was her job to make sure supper was ready. While she did it because she was an obedient child, she didn't enjoy the task. Now, she is a wonderful cook and baker and loves to try new recipes and spend time in the kitchen.
Ah, I will quite now...
Love to read your recipes!
Happy Sunday.
