Enjoy a bowl of soup after final cool day of winter

Are you an unofficial member of the Bored with Cooking Club? So many men and women love to cook but hate the hassle often associated with preparing a truly tasty meal!

The Bored with Cooking Club is comprised of any and all readers who love to cook and want to share a favorite easy, quick - and still impressive and delicious recipe.

Winter may be waning, but Lisa Newell encourages us to enjoy a delicious bowl of soup and some corny cornbread before spring warms our area completely. Lisa promises that the White Chili is as delicious as it is easy to prepare. The cornbread recipe she shares with us is a moist, delicious favorite that her mother, Nita Cady, shared with her. The chili and the corn bread are delicious together, too, and make for a family-pleasing meal!
Nita's Cornbread:
1 cup corn meal
1/4 c. oil
1 cup sour cream
1 small can creamed corn
2 eggs
Mix all together and pour into greased muffin

tins. Bake at 400 degrees until browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Yield: 12 muffins.
White Chili
2 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie is a
good shortcut)
1 onion, chopped
2 ribs of celery, diced
2 cans Great Northern Beans
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. basil
1 small can green chilies
2 cups chicken broth
1 medium potato, cubed
Place all ingredients in slow cooker and

place on medium heat before you leave the house in the morning. Dinner will be ready when you are.

With the help of a slow cooker, you can let the chili prepare itself all day long and come home to a hearty, healthy meal. Serve a steamy bowl of chili and a wedge of cornbread to your family and enjoy and evening of conversation instead of time spent preparing a meal in the kitchen alone! For those of you who balance play, work, kids, and/or volunteer efforts, this quickie will be well appreciated!
