White Chili & Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

Today is a perfect autumn day.

Bright leaves have begun to fall. The cool, crisp air smells like wood-fire stoves burning. And since early this morning the fog has been shifting through the hills and over the valley.

Its a chili-and-cornbread kind of day.
Here's our favorite...

White Chili

4-6 Servings

• 1-2 Cooke Chicken Breasts (Chopped or shredded)
• 1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder, Cumin, Oregano {I just do an even blanket of each across the onion}
• 1 tsp Salt
• Pinch of Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 yellow onion
• 1 Can Chicken Broth
• 2-3 Cans White Beans {Great Northern}
• 1 diced Tomato
• **Grated Cheddar Cheese and classic Cornbread Muffins.

1. Brown diced onion in a large pot with a little oil. Blanket onion with each of the spices and Worcestershire Sauce.
2. Add remaining ingredients, excluding cheese and cornbread. Warm on medium-high heat.
3. When ready to serve,  top each portion with shredded cheddar cheese and mash in a cornbread muffin.

For dessert.
