Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper White Bean Chili image

From Mel's Kitchen Cafe. Simple and freakishly delicious. I have made this a time or two and never soaked the beans the night before (I use Great Northern dry beans) and they soften perfectly during the cooking time; however, without actually trying it, I'm guessing if you did soak the beans overnight, you might be able to get away with a shorter cooking time (or maybe 5 hours on high or something like that). Also, before adding the chicken back in and before stirring in the cream cheese and corn, you can blend a couple cups of the soup to a smooth consistency and stir it back into the pot for a thicker variation. I've done it both ways...and love it both ways. The flavor is ultimately the winning factor. Finally, this soup is not spicy. If you'd like to make it with more heat, you can leave the seeds in the jalapenos or add a touch or more of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

1/2 cup small diced red bell peppers or 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper
1 lb chicken breasts or 2 chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups low sodium chicken broth

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It turned out great!

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use milder peppers.
