I hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it turns out for you. If you make it, shoot me a note or post it somewhere on social media with the following - #ChiliPepperMadness. I want to see your creations! – Mike H. The majority of the time spent with the recipe is waiting. You have about 10 minutes of food prep with some chopping, and maybe 10 minutes TOPS of cooking down your initial veggies and chicken, then it’s a “dump everything into a pot and wait” situation. The idea is that you want the ingredients to meld and develop, resulting in a perfect bite every time you dip your spoon down into the bowl. Add the chicken. Next, toss in some chopped chicken thighs and give them a nice sear, about 5 minutes or so. Add more ingredients and simmer. Add in a collection of flavorful ingredients - fire roasted tomatoes, white beans, chicken broth, and all of your herbs and spices. Stir and simmer the whole pot for about 20 minutes or longer. Make it creamy and serve. Remove from heat, stir in some heavy cream and serve it up. Top the bowls with spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped herbs, maybe a few sliced peppers. Have fun with it, and enjoy! Because of the creamy broth, I don’t recommend freezing this zesty soup!
