Butternut White Chicken Chili
This butternut white chicken chili is super comforting and delicious! Creamy, smoky white chicken chili with hearty butternut squash.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash, (in 1/2 to 1 inch cubes)
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups shredded chicken breasts
- 2 14 ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 to 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup sour cream
- for topping: fresh cilantro chives, tortilla chips, sour cream
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the butternut squash. Add in the cumin, smoked paprika, pepper flakes and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken. Add in the beans and 3 cups of the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the butternut squash is fork tender.
- After 10 to 15 minutes, taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. If you’d like the soup to have more liquid, stir in the additional cup of stock. Stir in the sour cream, stirring completely until it melts in.
- Serve the chili immediately, topped with cilantro, chives and tortilla chips. You can add on some cheese if you wish!
- Leftovers of this are delicious! You might need to add in a drop of stock or water when reheating.
