Chili is a traditional comfort dish for cold weather, originating in the American West, particularly in Texas and New Mexico. Three components were used in the first chili (or chili con carne) recipes: red meat, spices, and chiles.
Since its creation, chili has changed to incorporate ingredients like shredded cheese and sour cream, as well as ingredients like tomatoes, beans, corn, and onions to temper the dish's typical heat. A tamed variation of the fiery red staple, white chili, also known as chile verde, first appeared.
White chili, which is typically cooked with chicken or pork, spices, white beans, and green chiles, is a pleasant addition to our menu of traditional stews.
