This is delicious. I know that it is supposed to be white bean but I love kidney beans so added them. I also added stewed tomatoes with jalapenos. Instead of fat free sour cream I used fat free yogurt. I continued to simmer the chili a little after I added the yogurt and half and half which resulted in chunky (not soupy) chili. I am not a cook at all and this recipe made me look good.

It is sooo helpful to read your reviews ahead of making this! To resolve the soupy issue some wrote about, I skipped the fat-free half and half (it is just corn syrup anyway) and added a 3 oz cube of (1/3 Less Fat) Neufchâtel Cheese (Cream Cheese) it adds about 10 G of fat to the entire pot. I also cut back to about 16 oz of broth and at the end of the process still added just a tiny bit of liquified corn starch. I also added some smoke flavor to the broth step and big chunks of bell peppers when I added the sour cream. Gosh this is good stuff!-- update day two, sour cream flavor got a bit heavy feeling (even though low fat) added a bunch of chopped cilantro and this REALLY made the meal!

This recipe should not be called "chili". It is more like soup. If you want chili I suggest you cut the chicken broth way down and add more beans. Or change the name.
