Spicy White Chicken Chili

This spicy white chicken chili is easy to make and has some really nice kick to it. The recipe comes from a restaurant I frequented when I lived in T-Town (Tulsa, OK) back in my post college days. The restaurant has since closed but the chili lives on! I modified the recipe slightly over the years – I think it’s better than ever. Invite some friends over and whip up a pot, because soup’s always warmer with good friends!
