White Bean Chili

Yum!  Beans are amazing, even if they are musical fruit.  This is my girl version of chili... I am not a huge fan of the heartburn and intestinal ache associated with traditional chili.  This incorporates the best of chili and the best of warm soup in one dish.  The Northwoods seasoning by Penzy's has a good dose of Hungarian Paprika among other spices and mimics the flavor of chili in a familiar way.

2 Chicken breasts
1/2 lb cooked bacon, crispy OR 1 small ham hock
2 cups chicken broth, I like Pacific Foods
3 cups water
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 cup spinach leaves, chopped
1 cup diced carrots
2 cans great northern white beans, drained
2 TB minced garlic
2 TB olive oil
4 medium red potatoes, or equivalent, cubed
1 TB Penzy's Northwoods seasoning
1 tsp Penzy's Mural of Flavor seasoning

1. Sautee garlic in 2 TB olive oil in the soup pot.
2. Add broth, water, seasonings and meats.  Bring to a boil.
3. Add beans, carrots and potatoes. Simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Add spinach and onion, simmer 30 minutes.
5. Remove ham hock, if used.  Shred chicken and serve.
1 tsp ground pepper
