Chicken Chili Soup

Turned out good... family liked it including the kids so that’s a win right away! I increased the garlic a bit, only used 2 cans of beans, and gave an extra 10 shakes each of cumin and cayenne... last I used chicken broth instead of water. Recommend!

This is how I modified this recipe. I had to to make it a less boring flavor profile... A good day for chili... My Quad Chicken Chili. 3 lbs of ground chicken1 large diced sweet onion 1 diced red pepper1 diced orange pepper1 diced yellow pepper1 diced green pepper1 can of Cannelli Beans1 can of dark kidney beans1 can of light kidney beans1 can of Bush’s chili beans with spicy sauce1 can of corn 1 jar of homemade red sauce or tomato sauce of your choice1 8oz jar of Honey BrownHotA good sprinkle of brown sugar3 tbsp of Lindsay McGowan’s honey (essential for sweetness with the heat)Chili powder to taste Chipotle Chili powder to taste (key for a smoky flavor that makes this way less boring than typical chili)Garlic powder to tasteSalt and pepper to taste 1 tbsp dried parsley 1/2 teaspoon of ground CuminA touch of Cayenne pepper, or to tasteA good splash of Pinot Grigio

Really great soup. I did as the first reader suggested and used chicken broth in place of water, 3 cups to be exact. I used 3 cans of beans, one was kidney and the other two were pinto since it’s what I had on hand. Also only used I can of corn. I used half a yellow bell pepper and awhile orange one. Everything else I followed. I did cook mine in the crockpot for about 8 hours on low. Everyone loved it! Will definitely be a staple.

So the 5 star rating is for the version of it I made. These were the deviations from the recipe - 1) I didn’t add water , instead I added the same quantity of stock. I read a comment that said the original recipe was too bland and tasteless, and I believe this was probably the reason . 2) I added very finely diced potato , 3) I used lesser bell peppers than mentioned in the recipe. Overall, I and the fam were very happy.

I've made this with ground turkey breast, chicken breast and cooked turkey breast. I've always used a mix of beans and really enjoy the flavors.

I had just a thigh of leftover chicken, a leftover container of kidney beans and onions, one roma tomato, and one each red and yellow bell peppers. I chopped the tomato and about a third each of the two peppers, simmered in a dash of olive oil, chopped the chicken and added it, then put in the kidney beans and onions. I swirled some sriracha hot chili sauce into the mix, added cumin seed and cayenne, and a handful of frozen corn kernels. Oh my goodness! So, I didn't add the things I didn't have that are called for in the recipe, substituting the sriracha and the roma tomato for the cans of tomatoes, and made about a quarter of the recipe, all I need for days! Anyway, I think the recipe itself is a great base recipe to work from. It's all about freedom and making the best use of what you have on hand.
