We’re back home. After a week of travel, it feels amazing to be home together and reunited with Pearl. She stayed with my sister last weekend while we were up in Auburn. I’m excited to have a full work week again, normal workout routine and get back to cooking!! YAY! Eating on the road get’s exhausting. I always end up craving veggies when I get home from a trip, so they are the focus of my menu this week!

Since it’s getting a bit cooler here in Orlando… womp womp. I made you a warm and healthy soup. This recipe was inspired by my old Winter White Chili recipe {terrible photos included} but because it was sooooo good I wanted to recreate it and get some new shots. Of course I can never make a recipe EXACTLY the same so I’ve updated the recipe to fit current food style. #foodbloggerproblems

      Thanks for stopping by. 🙂 Honestly, meal prep is a necessary evil for me.. I wish I had the life that I could just walk to the market every day and spend an hour or two cooking up something from scratch. Okay, wake up wake up.

    Maybe I’m missing something but when is the best time to add in the kale?

    Thanks!

      Hey Jana! I added the kale in with the beans and spices… updated the recipe notes. Thanks for catching that. 🙂

    This looks so delicious! I love that you added kale to this. I haven’t seen that before in a white chicken chili recipe. Pinning for later!

    This chili sounds perfect for a cool evening! One of my goals for the next month or so is to incorporate more veggies into my dinner meals. It’s always easier for me to pack a big salad for lunch, but when it comes to dinner I usually have one veggie on the side. It’s better than nothing, but looking for more variety! Thanks for sharing your meal plan – it will help with this!

      Thanks!! Soup is one of my favorite ways to get in extra veg– plus it makes the best leftovers! Best wishes this month w your goal 🙂

    Hi, silly question I have. So after the chicken cooks, do you shred it with a fork?

      Not a silly question at all!! Silly me forgot to add that part to the recipe. I shred it with a fork OR add it to the mixer and shred it that way– details here: https://www.loveandzest.com/2014/04/simpleshreddedchicken.html

      Thanks to you, I’ll update the recipe 🙂 Thanks so much!!!

    Yay! I’m glad you are back home and reunited with Pearl! You’re excited about full work week? I think I need to go on a vacation ;). This chili IS perfect for a full night snuggle (how cute)! I actually don’t have any plans for Halloween as of now. I’ll probably be in the lab till late :(.
