5-Ingredient White Chicken Chili
All you need is 5 ingredients and 15 min from start to finish! That’s it! It doesn’t get any simpler, easier or tastier!
Greetings from Seattle!
I’ve had such a wonderful time here in this beautiful city, soaking up so much culture, meeting great people and spending time with great friends.
But before I attempt to catch a few hours of shut-eye to catch my early morning flight back to San Francisco, I just had to share this epic chili.
It takes just five ingredients and it comes together in fifteen minutes from start to finish.
Really.
All you need is chicken broth, leftover roasted chicken from the night before, beans, salsa verde and cumin. That’s it!
From there, you can add some fun toppings like fresh avocado and sour cream but either way, you’ll be so cozy with a piping hot, steaming bowl of this chili.
You’ll also be able to feed an army with this so you’ll be well fed for a couple of nights!

Help – I made this but used 8 cups of chicken broth (2 containers) Now it is too soupy, more like mexican chicken soup. I tired adding some cornstarch to thicken it – any suggestions?
Is there a reason why so much chicken broth was used? The recipe calls for 6 cups. Also, this soup is not meant to be thick.
I’m guessing momoffour wanted to use up both boxes (tip – free leftover broth in 1 or 2 cup portions next time).
I used to get a White Chilli from a restaurant in Leavenworth, WA called the Soup Cellar that I absolutely loved, and have been searching for a recipe that would recreate that flavor for years – so can’t wait to try this. I like my chilli to be thicker (rather than a thinner broth based style), so I plan to puree some of the soup, then add it back into the pot to make it thicker . Will let you know how it turns out after I try it.
Thanks for all your great recipes!
I have never tried white chicken chili. My husband and I are having a cook-off to see who cooks the best. I was going to cook regular chili, but I thought about doing something different with the chili. This sounds great and easy!
Great recipe! Add green onion for additional flavor.
WOW!! So easy, and SO SO GOOD! I bought a rotisserie chicken from the store and shredded it. This was a fantastic meal. Everyone in my family really enjoyed it. My overly picky nine year old gave it a thumbs up, and said it was extremely awesome. This will be a do over for SURE!
I can’t believe something so simple could be that tasty!! Thanks for the recipe, really delish and rave reviews.
Thanks for this! Made it for my roommates tonight, and we all LOVED it!! Added a little garlic and onion in case anyone wants a little more. You are brilliant!
Made this tonight and LOVED it!! My hubby did too. Perfect for a chilly fall day in Minnesota. Thank you for a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe. In addition to your suggested toppings (which were all amazing), I also added a squeeze of fresh lime. Delish!! Thanks again 🙂
I don’t usually post recipes on my blog but this one was too good and too easy not to share! Thanks for such a tasty dinner
I’m so glad you liked it! And thanks for sharing!
Found this on Pinterest and I’m making it tonight! Perfect day for it – sunny yet 50 degrees outside. My boyfriend is really excited. Thanks so much!!!
I found this recipe on Pinterest and since it’s a 5 ingredient recipe, I actually made it instead of just pinning it. But it was so good that I wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to share your pictures and recipe. I have shared this with my friends and coworkers, I thought it was so good! Thank you!
This chili is the only thing that should matter in life. It looks sooooo good!
I loved it! Made it for dinner and my family raved! Even my 6 year old that won’t eat anything that isn’t from a fast food restaurant loved it!!! Thank you for bringing my family together!!!
I’m so glad everyone liked it!
I made this the other night and it was one of the best things I have ever ate.. My young kids even loved it! I made it using Hatch salsa verde sauce (green). I will say that adding cut up avocado, a handful of chedder cheese and sour cream to the top made all of the difference. We appreciate you so much! xoxo
You’re so welcome! You should know that your comment made my night 🙂
Correction… Herdez green sauce. Thanks again!
It’s been raining here since Saturday and they say starting tomorrow the temperatures will drop below freezing point. A big bowl of hot soup is my go-to meal until the weather warms up a little.
Thanks for sharing and for helping me out with the #chocolateparty

I had a very similar green chili chicken last night for dinner. Totally could have used some avocado. Live and learn 🙂
I love getting creative with chili. Of course chili purists might get up in arms. That’s part of the fun! This is gorgeous. GREG
I miss the west coast so much! As for this soup – Five in Fifteen? I’m on it! This is so do-able for a crazy busy family during the week. I love it! 🙂
5 ingredients? Oh, I am SO sold. I love white chicken chili but it seems like every recipe has like 30 ingredients. This is perfect! Glad you enjoyed Seattle… I moved away from there 3 months ago to an internship in Arizona and miss Seattle like crazy! 🙂 Beautiful photos of this, by the way!
