This soup is fantastic! I grew up eating vegetable soup and we always dipped peanut butter sandwiches in the soup. When I saw this recipe I thought, of course! Peanut butter in the soup. I did add extra veggies, but other than that, I made the recipe as written and it is well worth 5 stars - even better than my Mom's vegetable soup.

I found this recipes elsewhere about 8 years ago and I have made it at least twice a week ever since because my family loves it. I did notice some differences though, I use 3 cans of Great Northern Beans, 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of salt, cube the chicken instead of "shredding it" & saute it by itself, use 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of 4 and after adding the cornmeal to thicken I then simmer the chili for 45 minutes, stirring very often to prevent sticking - The chili gets nice and thick. I serve this with tortilla chips and I think Fresh Chopped Cilantro (although optional)adds another taste dimension to this Chili. We top with shredded cheese and sour cream. Add the Hot Sauce to your taste after the Chili is done.
