This is a cross between chicken tortilla soup and white bean chili and dished up in clay bowls that my dad used to serve up roasted oysters from the grill in. :) The white beans give your palate a sense of chili, while the spices and crushed tortilla chips offer a sense of chicken tortilla soup. Check out my blog to see what other ingredient makes this chili unique!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This chili recipe is what happens when you blend a white chili and chicken tortilla soup. It's amazing! Creamy and full of delicious flavor, we loved the little notes of lime flavor with each bite. Green chilis and red peppers add a good bit of heat to this chili. Serve with a dollop of sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to bring the heat down a bit.
