I liked this very much. Husband not so much- he deosn't care much for anything different. I too mashed one can of the beans and added two cloves garlic. Otherwise followed the recipe. Will make again.

Sorry, I did not care for this white chili version at all. Normally I am a big fan of white chili.

It's absolutely wonderful. So easy to make. If I rated it I'd rate it higher than 5 stars.

Was really good, I omitted the chicken, because I didnt feel like messing with it, and added an extra can of broth along with small shell noodles. AWESOME! MY hubby loved it!

This turned out really great. I smashed half of a can of the beans with a fork to make it thicker. I also used dry cilantro instead of fresh and it tasted really good.

This is so good! Easy to make and delicious. I forgot to add the cumin and cilantro and it still came out very good. I did mash up some of the beans to make it thicker. This is even good heated up the next day. Definetly cut the chicken into bite size pieces so you won't have to as you are trying to eat it. I would make this recipe again and it has become one of our new favorites.

I put one can of beans in the blender to make it thicker. I also substituted a can of diced tomatoes with chilies instead of the can of chilies. My husband and I decided it would be good with corn added also.
