Summer Harvest White Chili

jennifer in new jersey's Note:

Very tasty chili with a few ingredients not usually found in chili. I have never ever measured so everything is approximate, but this recipe lends itself to taste so it is very flexible. I have only used ground dark turkey meat but I am sure other white meat would do as well. I find that you don't need to cook the ear of corn, as it cooks while simmering, so just cut it from the cob raw. Hope it works for you.

All the makings of a fun, interesting chili.

I left out the israeli couscous - I'm not a fan of it. Otherwise, I mostly stuck to the proportions and ingredients listed. Very good!

Next time I'd omit the mushrooms (seems odd in chili) and amp up some of the other ingredients (namely corn and onion).

AWESOME!! Jennifer, this was a great chili recipe. So different from what I'm used to (tomato based chili). I doubled it because I knew it'd be great and trippled the chili powder. My family and I ate this with tortilla chips :) Thank you for posting this!
