This deliciously comforting soup, flecked with green chiles and cumin, is equal parts luxurious and exotic. You can use 3 cups shredded cooked turkey or chicken in place of cooking the chicken thighs.

Going to give it a whirl
Have made white chicken chili in crockpot many times. Loaned crockpot out, so used my caste iron dutch oven. Was very easy, smells good, still cooking. Thanks for the recipe. I added cilantro and corn because Of like my chili that way.
