A golden & delicious white chili with a tangy tomatillo kick. This is a hearty stew type soup, full of vegetables and beans. It's extremely healthy: low fat, low cholesterol and low carb but full of taste! Excellent for phase 1 of the South Beach Diet! Easy to prepare using whatever green, white or yellow ingredients you have on hand (it's especially good using chopped jicama if you have it). If using a crockpot cook for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low. Excellent served sprinkled with low fat cheddar or mexican cheese blend.
