Red and White Chili

I hope everyone is enjoying fall!  My family just took a trip to the mountains, and had a great time.  The leaves were incredible, with colors as far as the eye could see.  It was just beautiful!  For the first few days, the temps were cooler and really put me in the mood for soup.  When we got home, all I could think of was chili, ignoring of course, that it had become unseasonably warm back home.  I turned down the AC and made some chili 😀

You might be wondering what red and white chili is.  It is a strange name, right?  I have combined my white bean chicken chili with tomato sauce and added pinto and black beans and a few extra peppers.  It is a wonderful combination of a red chili and white chicken chili, and is still much lighter than a traditional red chili with beef.  It is one of my family’s favorites, and my kids just can’t get enough of it.  Hopefully, it will cool down soon and we won’t have to pretend it’s soup season 😉  Seriously, this is a wonderful and easy chili that your family will love.  It is also a great make-ahead and freezer friendly meal.  I hope you add it to your list of soups this fall and winter!

I wanted to share a couple of photos from our trip.  We had amazing weather and spent some time in some truly beautiful spots.  I took the first photo and couldn’t believe the reflection was so perfect.  My husband took the last two photos.  He has such an eye for nature photos.

    The colors in the mountains you visited are wonderful!

    Both chili’s sound delicious. Both recipes are going in my recipe folder. I’ve been thinking about making a big pot of soup lately because the mornings are quite chilly.

      Thank you Deborah! We spent a lot of time on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is so beautiful up there. I am so glad to hear that, and I hope you enjoy them! Chili is such a wonderful and comforting one pot meal.

        You could take some awesome photos! We spend most of our time through the NC section. It is an amazing road!

        North Carolina right? I was born in that state. My Mother left it for California. She hated the bugs, and humidity. I haven’t been there since she took me away. First to her home town in KY then we moved west to California. I was a Marine Brat so we landed in the desert and after my Dad’s tour was over and he didn’t reup per my Mother’s orders; we migrated north following the money settling in the San Francisco Bay Area. Myself, one sister, and my Dad are still here. My Mom and other siblings have left the area, and country. Whenever I see images of Fall and Winter in NC mountains I do wish we ventured there to hike, camp, and enjoy the seasons there. I think they’re more colorful than what we have here.

        Yes, North Carolina 😀 That is really neat. The mountains are very pretty and the climate is different from the rest of the state. In higher elevation cities, like Boone, they get snow every winter and keep moderate temperatures during the summer relative to the rest of the state. You should definitely visit in the fall. The peak of colors is usually the 3rd week of October for around 3,000 feet, and mid-October for above 4,000 feet. The colors are especially vibrant this year. I love California, and San Fransisco is such a gorgeous city.

        I love being a tourist in San Francisco…that never tires for me. I’ve lived an hour from the city since I was 10 and still love going up for the day or half day 40 yrs later. The City as we locals call it is always alive, and vibrant; never tiring or boring! I’d go up any day of the week in any neighborhood to capture a great image and have fun.

        How wonderful to be so close to such a gorgeous and interesting place! I bet the inspiration for beautiful photos is endless.

    Beautiful pictures. I’m trying to think where in the world you live where there’s autumn colors in the mountains and a need for AC at home 🙂 Anyway, the recipe sounds good. I’ve never made chili with chicken and the idea of a “lighter” chili is appealing. It’s chili weather here, so the timing is perfect 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!

      Thank you so much Diana! We took the photos off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a beautiful and diverse road through the mountains. We are having an unusual warm spell and I am looking forward to it cooling back down. It is really tasty and very hearty. You are welcome, I hope you enjoy it 😀
