Autumnal Equinox. 41° out by the pits. Let's get some comfort cooking, shall we?
Smoky White Chicken 'Chili' (bean soup for the purists)
The base.
(ignore the chicken broth, I'll explain in a bit)
Open and dump all the red stuff in, add Cumin, lots of garlic and White Pepper.
We'll let that cruise at 250° for a while, then add the beans and proteins.

Bean time.
Some smoked chicken, and a package of Tasso I found in the freezer.
Cut up 2 breasts worth, and save the 3rd for chicken salad this week. I put 3/4ths of that package of tasso in.
Dump dump dump.
Hmmm. Kinda thick. I was reaching for that can of broth and then thought otherwise.
1/2 bottle or so.
Now we're talking.
We'll let that cruise for an hour or so, then slap a piece of foil over the top for a lid
--
Oh yeah... Another hour in the 'texas crutch' and the magic happened. Transferred to the crock pot to rest for the afternoon.

Mrs suggested some wild rice mixed into the chili for bulk, so I folded some in before we headed to church.
Got back home and did some Jimmy Crack Corn Cake on the MAK. Sorry Spark, this will have to do for the milk shot, as I used the last 1/3rd of a cup in this batter.
Dinner is served!
Plate it up.. Pardon the work bench pics, that's the only decent lighting I have in this place.
This is definitely a keeper, and an easy way to use up some leftover smoked goodies.
Next time I'll do the beans from scratch, I just had a bunch of cans in the way to use up first.
Thx for lookin'!
