White Bean Chicken Chili #Recipe from @EllieAlexander

I don’t know about you, but it’s definitely cold and flu season at our house. A cold that had been lingering for a couple weeks turned into full blown bronchitis and a sinus infection for me. No fun. The good news is that I’ve been catching up on my reading while staying in bed and drinking lots of hot tea. There’s nothing better or more healing than a steaming bowl of soup. This week I made a large pot of this white bean chicken chili and it’s been doing the trick. It has a nice hit of spice to help clear up those sinuses and it’s equally comforting.

~Wishing you health and healing in the form of this soup.
