Soup-a-thon- White Chicken Chili

Something fun we have started doing as a family is have a Soup-a-thon or soup night. Last year we had each family bring a different kind of soup, this time I made three kinds and Cydney made a new recipe for White Chicken Chili, below. It is always fun to be together and this is a relaxing way to visit, eat, and just be together.

Last year for Christmas my husband gave me this trio crock pot that we used for the first time. It was great for this purpose. I just love being with all of these people. Good food, good times, good family.
