Santa Fe Chili is a delicious white chicken chili. It is a more mild chili, but you could make it as hot as you’d like by adding jalapenos.
I have mentioned in the past that I worked at a guest ranch in Colorado. In the winter time we had a snowmobile tour service. We would take a group out snowmobiling in the morning and they would come back and have lunch. A second group would come for lunch and then go out snowmobiling in the afternoon. One of the lunches we would serve was Santa Fe Chili. I love the different flavor of this white chicken chili. It’s not a spicy chili, but you could make it spicy if you would like.
