Instructions

  • Saute onions in a soup pot until they become transparent. 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sauté the garlic, chiles, and jalapenos for one further minute.
  • Stir together the seasoning, spices, and broth after adding them.
  • After adding the beans and corn, boil the mixture.
  • Add the cream cheese and stir until it melts into the chili after it has started to boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream. After combining, taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Lime fresh to give the chile some brightness. Simmer on low for a short while longer if you'd like it thicker. You may thin it out by adding more broth.
