NOMS: White Chicken Chili and Bean Soup

Like I've mentioned before, we are having some Weather (capital W) here in Maryland.  Which means it has been time to break out the stew and soup recipes.  I raided my Pinterest and found this recipe, which sounded and looked great so I figured- why not.

Mine doesn't look like hers.  But, it is delicious.  DELICIOUS.  Now, we all know I have a weird and crippling THING about textures in my food.  So I had to blend the chilies.  I threw them in the blender and had at it until they were as pureed as possible- which still ended up not being enough for me- but that's okay.  Because next time, it will be glorious.  Also next time, we are going to get some tortilla strips and toss them in.  This soup tastes like the inside of a burrito.

Other changes I made: I used about half as many beans, which made mine more soupy than the original. 

Also, check out my fantastic new table and placemats.  Isn't that color to die for?
