A comforting, creamy twist on classic beef chili.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups cans chicken broth
  • 1 (7 oz) can diced green chilies
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh corn
  • 2 (15 oz) cans white kidney beans
  • 2 shredded or chopped, boneless cooked chicken breasts
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a 6.5L Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots, sauté 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute longer.
  2. Add chicken broth, green chilies, cumin, paprika, oregano, coriander, cayenne pepper, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture just to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
