White Bean Chicken Chili with Kale

by Lori on November 10, 2011

I LOVED this! My husband said it was just “ok” but I think it was because of the kale. He is not a big kale fan. We took some leftovers to the neighbors and she sent me a text today saying the soup was delicious!

I already had shredded chicken in the freezer so I threw it in the crock pot frozen.

White Bean Chicken Chili with Kale

1 onion, chopped

4 gloves of garlic, minced

3 chicken breasts, roasted and shredded

4 cups of chicken stock

1 tbsp cumin

salt and pepper to taste

2 cans of white beans, drained and rinsed

1 can of corn, drained

3 cans of diced green chili

1 cup of chopped kale, more if you would like.

1 packet of Knorr Chicken Flavor Homestyle Stock 

Directions

1.Roast chicken if needed and shred.

2. Saute the onion and garlic in some EVOO in a skillet until translucent.

3. Combine all ingredients in the crock pot EXCEPT the kale.

4. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 8 hours. My crockpot runs very hot. It seriously took only 2-3 hours to cook on low.

5.Take 1 cup from the crockpot and blend in the blender. Return to the crockpot.

6. In the last 30 mins of cooking add the kale.

I served this with a crusty french loaf bread.

Why would one have to pre-cook the chicken if the soup is going to be cooked in the crock pot of 8 hours. Maybe simplify the recipe by adding raw chicken.
