Equipment

  • Large Pot

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 large Onion diced
  • 4 cups Chicken Stock or broth
  • 2 ounces Green Chilies
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 3 14 ounce cans Cannellini Beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
  • 8 ounces Sour Cream
  • Salt and Pepper to season

Instructions

  • Sauté. In a pot set over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Sauté the onion until it becomes tender. Then, add the garlic and sauté until it releases its fragrant aroma (approximately 30 seconds).
  • Incorporate the stock and flavorful ingredients. Combine chicken stock or broth, green chilies, cilantro, cumin, paprika, and oregano into the mixture. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Simmer with the turkey and beans. Add the turkey and cannellini beans, letting them gently simmer for a short 5-minute span.
  • Finish and season. Blend in the sour cream and, if necessary, adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Instructions: Follow the recipe as directed and then allow the soup to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. You can safely store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to serve, gently reheat the soup on the stovetop over low to medium heat.
  • Freezing Information: To freeze white turkey chili, let it cool to room temperature, portion it into airtight containers or bags, label it with the date, and store it in the freezer for up to 3-4 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator and reheat as needed.
