Warning: this soup is very hearty. Like eat one bowl of it and you are full for hours. Which is amazing in the dead of winter when you just want a warm tummy full of delicious soup. Turns out our dead of winter came in April. We live in Utah, which is known for world-famous snow. Yup…hardly got any snow all winter and then one day in April we woke up to Christmas outside. Classic spring in Utah. Those poor tulips, buried in 3 feet of snow…

That day called for chunky chicken chili, and this hearty soup from heaven was born.
