Chili - my absolute favorite cold-weather comfort food. I first had White Chili at a Tumbleweed restaurant in Louisville, KY. I was surprised, since it looked like a chicken soup but tasted like chili. I was won over. I searched out several white chili recipes and this is the one I finally developed based on my research.
