This Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is creamy and spicy.

Here in East Texas, it has been a rainy last few days. With that rain, it has brought lower temperatures. I can’t bear the thought of eating soup in 100 degree weather regardless of how much I may like soup. So I am thrilled to finally be able to add soup back into the meal plan.

I love how soup is so budget friendly and can be stretched for days.

So far we have had this White Chicken Chili for dinner last night and lunch today with plenty left in the fridge for another lunch later this week.

This Soup is Spicy, the creaminess helps balance some of that.

However, you can omit the cayenne. Another thing that tames the spice is serving with a dollop of sour cream and a handful of shredded cheese.

I like to serve my White Chicken Chili with tortilla strip chips, however this can also be paired with cornbread.

While you can use a variety of toppings, our family’s preference is sour cream, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, and extra cilantro.
