Southwest Chicken Chipotle Chili

This recipe comes from the South beach diet. The first time Chase and I had it we couldn't believe our taste buds!  This chili is also almost better the second day! making this an even better find.  enjoy.

Substitutions: You can use chipotle in adobe sauce instead of powder.  And if you would like to prepare your own cooked beans you will need 4 1/2 Cups (2 1/4C dried). I have also omitted the garlic and it still tastes Delicious!



1.
In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
2.
Push the onions to one side of the pan, add the chicken, and sprinkle with the chipotle chile powder, cumin, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until most of the chicken is opaque on the outside, 5 to 6 minutes.
3.
Stir in 3 cups of the beans and 2 cups of the broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Partially cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
4.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the remaining beans and remaining 1 cup broth. Process to a smooth puree.
5.
Stir the bean puree and half-and-half into the soup. Divide the soup among 4 bowls and serve hot sprinkled with cheese and cilantro.
