Servings: persons

1 lb white beans, rinsed
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon chicken base
2 onions, chopped
1 tablespoon oil
6 -8 cloves garlic, minced
7 ounces diced green chilies
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves

3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
4 cups diced cooked chicken
1 cup sour cream
3 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
sour cream, to serve

1
Put the chicken stock base, broth, and beans in a large pot (I like my Crock Pot).
2
Simmer it for two hours, covered.
3
Saute the onions in the oil until they are gently browned.
4
Combine the onions with the spices, chicken, and other vegetables, and simmer for another hour or so.
5
Add the cheese and sour cream, cooking until the cheese melts in the chili.
6
You might want to serve the chili with more sour cream, green onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, cilantro, or cheese.
7
The recipe serves about four people, but I always double it, because it tastes even better the second day.
8
If you don't use fresh cilantro, you might want to double the amount you use.
9
Also, I have found the garlic to be low, but you can tell by my name that I love to cook with garlic.
10
It was also great to substitute some of the chicken broth with beer (preferably Mexican), if you add a few shots of tequila for added ummph!
