Jancey's Cooking Corner: Chicken Chili with Beans

The hostess of our last girls card party came up with the idea of bringing a food item that was your school colors in high school. What a challenge! My school colors were red and white and all that I could think of was a stuffed radish. The hubby strongly suggested NO!
One creative dish that the hostess offered was chicken chili that had white beans and red tomatoes. There you go! This soup had some big robust flavors and would be great for cool weather, football games and in a chili cook-off.
