Seriously,
literally,
one of the best soups I HAVE EATEN IN MY LIFE.
Plus, it all starts with bacon!
See how big that pot is? We had full intentions on freezing some for later, but loved this soup to pieces and ended up eating it day and night, finishing the whole pot in five days.
SO.MUCH.FLAVOR.

I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

This looks so good! I love any soup that starts with bacon :)

This looks so good! I normally use pintos in my chili since they’re so creamy, but I’m thinking I need to try out some white beans now!

It was 85F here yesterday so chili is not on the brain but seriously, this makes it want to be on my brain b/c it looks delicious!

the spiced chicken with onions and bacon would be great in tacos. or even in salad.

This looks DELICIOUS. Well done :D

Thanks for sharing. It sounds delicious, and I happen to be making home made spicy pinto beans at the moment, so maybe some slightly modified soup will happen next!

Its like all good soups in one!!! We’re meant to go out for dinner tonight – and now I just want to stay in and make this.
Have a great weekend Jess!! (ps FYI I know smoked paprika is suppousedly your boyfriend but we spend a lot of time together and recently he’s kind of let me know I can say we’re seeing each other too…and I sort of love him… just a little heads up….) xox

why is it that all delicious soups begin with bacon???? I was actually drawn into this post because that chunk of cheese looked unusual-like one I’ve never seen before.
Reply
That looks fantastic!!!

hahahahaha…five days? What took you so long? Glad you liked it so much! Can you believe how much flavor is packed in so few ingredients. The smoky trinity of flavor: bacon, chipotle chile, smoked paprika. Dab a little behind your ears and your man will do pretty much anything you ask. ;)

Mmmm fantastic! Love white beans!

That looks so good!!

Made it for dinner tonight. Delish!!!

I love chicken chili! I can see how you ate the whole pot! :)

Hey Angel Cake: did you soak the beans?

Great fulfilling soup! Includes some of my favorite ingredients. I could eat this all day long! :)

This looks amazingly awesome…as always. :) Have a great week!

This looks wonderful, but then, anything with bacon usually is!

As amazing as that sounds, and it DOES sound fantastic, your blog is called “How Sweet It Is”. I’m just saying. I keep scrolling down looking for the dessert part of this, but all I keep finding are comments. In order to fill the hole in my sweet tooth I just had some crappy Snickers ice cream with very good chocolate sauce on top. I felt so bad for the chocolate sauce. Come on! At least give me a link to one of your desserts at the end of the dinner posts! Arrrgggghhh!
Sincerely,
Suffering With Snickers

Haha sorry to burst your bubble but my blog is called ‘how sweet it is’ because of the song – not because of dessert. ;) more on that in my about section!

In that case, I guess I’d invest in some better ice cream. =)
Looks pretty darn good! I wouldn’t mind eating this for an entire week!
Reply
I looked at this recipe just minutes before I entered the grocery store…literally…and just had to try it. It was delicious!
Reply
This looks so deliciously good! I wish this was sitting on my stove top:).

Made this for dinner last night. It was De-LISH – thanks for sharing! I brought leftovers for lunch today. Yum! P.S. My hubby garnished with sour cream and he said it was amazing too.

Just checkin….did you drain and rinse the beans?

Where do you find the recipe for this?

Sounds like I’d better whip up this soup soon!

After seeing this recipe last week, I made this chili on Sunday. It is THE BEST chicken chili I’ve ever made. I’m throwing all my other chicken chili recipes out…this will be my go to recipe from now on. I used a good applewood smoked bacon. Instead of using the rotisserie chicken, I put 2 bone-in skin-on chicken breasts and 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs in the pot to cook for 30 minutes. Then removed them and shredded the meat to put back in the chili. Fantastic and freezes great. Thank you so much for this recipe!!

Your chicken chili looks fantastic! Do the flavours get better over time? That is, it is even better the second day?
Reply
Now, that is like no white bean chicken chili I’ve EVER had. You should have seen the faces (and noises) my husband was making yesterday at dinner….not appropriate at all :) But…don’t you just love when that happens? Anyway, back to the chili…it’s not only the best soup I’ve had, but the best chili…and the best dish with white beans. Period. I can’t get over it.

Now that is a tasty looking chili!
