White Chili

This is one of our favorite meals around our house when it's cold outside.
It is SUCH an easy recipe with very few ingredients...so that makes it even better.
This is NOT diet food, but it is a complete meal~
OK~ here's the ingredients, but you have to know it's one of those recipes where there isn't a set measurement...just the amounts that work for me.
My rule is about 1 can of beans to 1 chicken breast...use what works for you.

about 1/2 cup chopped onion
4 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped or shredded
4 cans great northern beans
1/2--1/4 bottle of salsa....I use medium hot
about 2 cups water
jalapeno jack cheese~shredded about 1 - 1 1/2 cups
cumin
sour cream to top

In a large pot saute your onion until it is soft and translucent.
Add your chicken, beans, salsa and water. Throw in a good sprinkle of cumin.
Let it simmer for a while, about 30-40 minutes.
It will thicken a bit.
Then mix in the cheese...add more or less to your liking.
This will make it really thick and adds more flavor.
Serve with a dolop of sour cream on top and tortilla chips on the side.
Makes for great leftovers too!
