Hi Bill...I don't exactly have a recipe for white chile but I ate some at a
local chile cook-off last summer that was made by a group of 4-H kids and
was surprisingly good. They used (in whatever amounts you find necessary)
chicken breast that was cubed and browned in some oil, chicken broth for the
liquid. white beans (canned or jarred I'm sure but a purest could soak and
cook dry beans ahead), a goodly amount of onions and some garlic and...their
secret weapon...a large jar of green salsa. I don't know what brand they
used but it gave it a nice moderate warmth. Unfortunately it also tinted
the whole batch sort of a greenish white so you had to disregard appearance!
Since this is north Iowa, that was the only heat in the batch but knowing my
fire-eating friends, many types of peppers could be added. Here in Norsky
country, a "hot" chile never wins the cook-off but it is fun to taste them.
This past summer one had black beans with chicken...and I've never seen that
combo...but it had the usual chile ingredients otherwise, with tomatoes,
peppers, onions etc. It was nice and spicy too but you need to remember I'm
a dyed in the wool moderate when it comes to chile heat.

BTW...anyone ever have contact with Big Tom Price who assigned us all our CH
numbers when we bought our membership cards? I had an email from him
several months ago; he is one of the causalities who can't post anymore for
some unknown reason.
He and his wife hosted the Midwest Hotluck two years ago and I've not seen
him since.
