Ruby Tuesday White Chicken Chili is a hearty, restaurant-style soup made with tender chicken, white beans, peppers, and spices in a savory broth. It’s a comforting, mildly spicy chili perfect for cozy meals and meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups great northern beans (dry, soaked overnight, or canned)
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 large Spanish or yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
  • 1–2 additional chili peppers (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup salsa (mild or medium)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. If using dried beans, soak them in water overnight, then drain.
  2. In a large soup pot, combine soaked beans, half of the chopped onions, half of the garlic, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender.
  3. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add remaining onions, garlic, jalapeños, oregano, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Sauté until onions are soft and fragrant.
  4. Stir sautéed onion-pepper mixture into the pot of beans.
  5. Add cooked chicken and salsa. Stir to combine.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for another hour to blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot with optional garnishes: sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • Use canned beans to reduce total cooking time—skip the initial 2-hour simmer.
  • For a creamier texture, puree 1 cup of the cooked beans and stir back into the chili.
  • This chili freezes well—store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust spice level by varying the amount of jalapeño or cayenne.
