This was so tasty! Love the trick with the garlic. I couldn't find anaheim peppers so I just used some chopped jalepeno's instead.

Will be added to the rotation!

I thought this recipe was fantastic, but don't know that I would agree with this being an easy recipe. There were a lot of steps involved to get to the end result. The Monterey jack cheese for a garnish tastes awesome. It definitely has a kick to it with the peppers, cayenne and chili pepper, but not too much.

My intuition told me this needed a few tweeks to fit my tastes & preferences....
I roasted a whole head of garlic the traditional way - didn't trust her microwave method. Smashed the garlic w/ a fork and stirred it in the soup. I poached a skin-on breast of chicken and used the cooking water as the "broth." Mainly to save $, as broth can get expensive if it's not on sale. I also added some cumin.
It was a good meal, however don't consider it a "keeper" and probably won't be inclined to make again.

I couldn't find anchos and so used poblanos (and therefor did not need cayenne and I did not add the cream. Given those two changes, I thought this recipe was incredibly flavorful. There are a few steps but nothing is difficult to do. This recipe is definitely worth a try!

We enjoyed it. Yes, it was a lot of work though when I have other white chili recipes that are just as good and quicker to make. I skipped the smoked paprika. Roasting chiles is a pain but you can defintely tell it in the flavor. This is a make once a year recipe, no more that that though

This recipe took a lot of work and time. My roasted garlic didn't come out soft and creamy as real roasted garlic, but I added it anyways. The cheese garnish really makes it. Yummy as a spicy soup/almost chili.

I enjoyed this very different take on chicken chili. I did add another can of beans. I added half of the can to the blended mixture to make the broth thick and creamier. I added the other half to the soup.

I had no problem finding the ingredients, with the exception of the smokey paprika, which I must admit I didn't even look for. I used the paprika I had on hand. I found all the necessary ingredients at Target.

I think the roasted chili and garlic were definitely the shining ingredients in this dish.

The next time I make this dish I'm going to add an additional can of beans and try the smokey paprika.

My husband, who makes a think and chunky traditional chili, enjoyed two bowls of it.
