White Chicken Poblano Chili

Submitted by MelvinsWifey

"This is the best white chicken chili ever! It can be medium spicy to very spicy, so adjust your peppers to your taste! This is so so wonderful and definitely a comfort food. It's great leftover as well. Also, make sure to adjust amount of chicken broth to your liking, it can go from very hearty, to a more soupy texture."

DH and I made this chili last night for dinner. We really enjoyed it. We had just finished harvesting what was left of our pepper garden before the frost comes, so this was the perfect recipe to use up those anaheims, poblanos and jalapenos. We thought the heat was perfect and we like our chili a little thicker so we cooked a little longer so it would have a heartier consistency. We topped with freshly grated Vermont cheddar cheese, which was really delicious. We had the leftovers for lunch today and thought the chili was even better. Thanks for a great recipe!
