This Creamy White Chicken Chili is so easy to throw together for a quick dinner and perfect for warming the belly during cold weather!  I love making soups when the weather finally cools off here in Texas.

Sometimes I get stuck in a rut and make the same things over and over. You wouldn’t think that since I write so many recipes, but it’s true.  So when I thought about making chili, I wanted something a little different. I had plenty of chicken on hand, and my husband brought home a stash of freshly roasted Hatch chili peppers.  It was the perfect storm to have me making this recipe!

A friend from church has an aunt that lives in Hatch, New Mexico, and every year she sends him about 50 pounds of Hatch green chiles.  When the package arrives, the guys plan an impromptu get together to roast all of these chiles over an open fire. They typically cookout the wild game that they’ve gotten and other dishes and spend the evening eating and roasting and packing these chiles for storage for later use.

Luckily, we get to bring home a bundle of packages of roasted chiles to freeze and use throughout the year.  

Ok, back to my Creamy White Chicken Chili. If you don’t have freshly roasted green chiles at your fingertips, it’s totally okay to use canned green chiles!

How to make Creamy White Chicken Chili in the slow cooker or Crockpot

If you’re like me, you like to take some shortcuts! The recipe card is the stovetop method of making this soup. However, if you want to make it in your slow cooker so that you can have it ready when you get home, here’s how:

  1. In a large skillet, saute the onions and garlic in the canola oil. Once tender, transfer the onion mixture to the bowl of your slow cooker.
  2. Place the remaining ingredients into the slow cooker, except the cream cheese and heavy cream.
  3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or high for 2 to 4 hours, depending on how much time you have.
  4. Before serving, stir in the cream cheese and stir until melted. 
  5. Once cream cheese is melted, stir in the heavy cream, cover and continue cooking for about 30 minutes or until heated through.
