This is a very good from scratch white bean chili.

[Guest guest]

I make this often in the crockpot instead of on the stove. I just put

everything in the crockpot and let it cook all day, usually a Saturday and it's

done for an early dinner....... Donnawhite-bean-chili recipe

Here's a recipe that I've made with great success- even with SAD folks. I

adapted it from a white bean turkey chili recipe. White Bean Chili

--------------- 1 lb white beans (like great northerns) 2 large onions, diced 2

Tbs ground cumin 1 Tbs chili powder 1 tsp poultry seasoning 2-4 oz cans diced

green chiles 1 8 oz can salsa verde (optional) 7 c veggie stock 2 bay leaves 1/2

lb tomatillos, cleaned & quartered 1 c fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped Salt

and pepper to taste 2 Tbs fresh lime juice 1 c chopped green onions Soak beans

overnight or use quick soak method (bring beans and water to cover by 1 " to a

boil for 5 min. Turn off heat and cover. Let sit 1 hour, then proceed). Pour

off soaking water and cover beans with fresh water and bring to full boil.

Lower heat and simmer. While beans simmer, in a large soup kettle or dutch

oven, saute onions using your favorite ff method (I use a little stock), when

translucent, add cumin, chili pd, poultry seasoning, green chiles

and salsa verde. Saute for 5 minutes, adding a little stock if it begins to

stick. Then add the rest of the stock, bay leaves, tomatillos and 3/4 c

cilantro. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered while beans continue to cook.

When beans are just tender (1-2 hours) add them to the soup pot and simmer

everything together for another 1/2 hour. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Just before serving, add the rest of the cilantro and the lime juice, stir to

blend. Ladle into big bowls and top with green onions
