Cannellini Chili with leeks image

I'm not a leek-eater per se, but when Farm Fresh to You delivered a beautiful leek to my doorstep I had to find a recipe to use it. I changed up this white bean chili dish to meet my dietary needs and served it as a side for Thanksgiving dinner. Even my picky eaters were surprised to find they liked it.
