My two favorite soups, and yours too, as I can see. I'm watching you. Wooooo wooooo. (Scary huh?)
YUM!
Kelli's Creamy White Chili
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and cubed
1 medium onion
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (or fresh garlic is even better)
1 Tbls. Vegetable oil (I use olive)
2 (15 oz.) cans great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can chicken broth
2 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies (usually found in Mexican food section of the grocery store)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. black pepper ( I put in about high, because I mildly allergic to it)
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (I leave this out, because I'm highly allergic to it)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
The recipe doesn't call for it but I always add in fresh mushrooms and saute them with the chicken. Add as many as you like.
In a large saucepan, saute chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and whipping cream. Serve immediately.
Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana
* 1 lb ground Italian sausage
* 1½ tsp crushed red peppers
* 1 large diced white onion
* 4 Tbsp bacon pieces
* 2 tsp garlic puree
* 10 cups water
* 5 cubes of chicken bouillon
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 lb sliced Russet potatoes, or about 4 large potatoes
* ¼ of a bunch of kale
I added a bit more salt in the end, because I think it needed it, but other than that, it was just as good as the Olive Garden.
1. Sauté Italian sausage and crushed red pepper in a large pot. Drain excess fat, refrigerate while you prepare other ingredients.
2. In the same pan, sauté bacon, onions and garlic over low-medium heat for approximately 15 mins. or until the onions are soft.
3. Add chicken bouillon and water to the pot and heat until it starts to boil.
4. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until soft, about half an hour.
5. Add the heavy cream and just cook until thoroughly heated.
6. Stir in the sausage and the kale, let all heat through and serve. Delicious!
Buon appetito!

I made a white chili that is almost exactly the same except I don't put in the creams. Though I do put in lots of sharp cheddar cheese. We just had some last week and it was G.O.O.D!!!
Thank you Jill for posting these! Jake has been asking for me to make the white bean soup for forever so I'm happy to tell him that I finally can.
Mosiah said it was his first white chili and he really liked it. We were shopping for chili yesterday and he wanted to buy a can of white. I told him it probably wouldn't taste the same so he put it back. Make it for christmas!
