Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili

It’s finally starting to warm up in Texas *slightly* but I know it’s still pretty chilly in many parts of the US.  So I made chili for y’all.  It’s a nice and hearty soup that’s ridiculously easy in the slow cooker.  You can pick and choose whatever toppings you like – I’m personally a big fan of the fresh squeezed lime juice, avocado, tortilla strips, and radishes.  Don’t skimp on them!

Sorry to be short with you guys, but it’s time for me to turn my attention to a take home final and one last project to finish out my 3rd semester of grad school.  Wish me luck and enjoy the chili!
