This was awesome! I used a white onion, garlic in the jar, jalapeno from a jar, and chicken bouillion/water. I did not use the parsley, however.. but, I did also add a can of black beans to the white. This was quick, easy and delicious. I will definately make this again, but I don't understand why the recipe says "serves 4". This is easily 6 very large servings. I served with mexican blend cheese, lite sour cream and more cilantro. So good!!

Really great taste! I did omit the jalapeno, and instead I added a couple 4 oz. cans of diced chilies. Also added a can of white hominy because we like it in this sort of thing. Served it with lots of shredded Monty Jack and tortilla chips. I loved the flavor of this and will definitely be making it again. (plus it was really easy!) Thanks.

Really good and unique tasting chili. I was afraid that it wasn't going to be quite flavorful enough, so I added a regular chili seasoning packet, but I'm not sure it needed it. In any case, it came out fantastic. Thanks for posting!
