How to make grain-free white bean chili

I don’t know why it took me so long to share how to make grain-free white bean chili. After all, I only make this chili for my family every other week.

It is one of our staples and crowd-pleasers, a soup to stretch for a couple of days of main meals…if mom is short on cooking time (as when preparing for the next GAPS CLASS)

It is a great soup for Full GAPS and is included in the recipes included in Module 5 of the GAPS Class, which is all about Full GAPS. By the way, if you are considering the GAPS Class, we’ll be sharing lots of great recipes for all stages of GAPS, including Intro GAPS, so you’ll have ideas for what to eat, and when.

We enjoy this grain-free White Bean Chili with avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and a drizzle of olive oil.

I hope you like it as much as we do!

Instructions

1. Brown the meat with the diced onion
2. Add EVERYTHING else and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes
3. This chili is very forgiving…feel free to add more liquid if you want to stretch it farther the next day for leftovers, or add less spice, more spice, etc.
4. Fills an 8 qt. stockpot
