Creamy White Chicken Chili

I first tried this recipe back in 2010 at a chili cook-off we had at church.  It was AWESOME!  I had never tried a white chili before & I love creamy white sauces/soups, so this was a real winner for me.  There were two gals that brought a white chicken chili to that cook-off & so I asked both of them for their recipes & ironically enough, they were the SAME exact recipe!  Haha!  

I have been searching for the original owner of the recipe & have come up blank.  Every white chicken chili you search is basically this recipe, so I decided to source Taste of Home b/c they had a nice picture & a printable version if you want to click on the link I have.  The way I have it typed is basically the same, but I use less chicken, & tried to lighten up the calories a tad using light sour cream, but kept the full heavy cream which makes this recipe 259 calories per cup.
