White Chili

I first experienced this rich, delicious soup at the Sourdough Cafe. It was quite popular and often they sold out. White Chili is a delicious blend of south west flavors! Cumin, Cilantro, Chili powder and cheese create a layer of flavors you are sure to love! Last summer I took ingredients to make this on one of our camping trips, but I forgot my recipe. I searched recipes on Pinterest but could not find one with the ingredients I knew were in this one. I ended up making a similar recipe but it didn’t compare. This has been a family favorite for over twenty years! Enjoy!

One thought on “White Chili

  1. I might just make it once to see what I’m missing. Sounds delicious. Trouble is that my husband hates cheese so I generally adjust recipes that have it. I suspect though that the pepper jack cheese is the star of this show. 😏
