White Bean and Chicken Chili - Gluten-Free

This soup came about from leftovers I had from making my Fall Harvest Soup!  I actually had an entire other batch of the soup prepped and ready for a demonstration and it was cancelled a few hours before it was to begin.  I didn't want to make a whole other batch, so I improved and made something completely different!  Boy, and I happy I did!!!!

This "chili" I'm calling "chili" because it tastes like chili, but is the consistency of soup.  It has an incredible amount of flavor and is just the right amount of spicy for a good chili!  It is delicious all on it's own, but my husband felt it was even better with some "fixings."  I used a sprinkling of Mexican blend shredded cheese, a dollop of non-fat plain Greek yogurt and a few crushed tortilla chips.  YUM!  You can decide how you want to eat your chili!

Just a note: If you don't have better than bouillon, use chicken broth.

I hope you enjoy this deliciousness!
