As written this recipe is VERY high in sodium. It can easily be adjusted by using 1/4 tsp ground celery seed instead of celery salt, omit the tsp. of salt and use low sodium or homemade chicken broth.
I have a question. Is the 2 1/2 Tb of chicken stock a concentrated chicken base? What brand do you recommend?
Fab. Add a little of your own spirit. Tis recipe is the bomb!
The bomb!
This is awesome! I have made this into more of a “bowl chili/chowder” by adding more chicken broth (might have to add little more spices to not water down) and some white beans…delicious both ways. It won the people choice award at our church chili cook-off. Very good as a topping on just about anything too…this is my go to recipe although wish it was a 20 min recipe instead of 3 hr.
This is a great recipe and I’ve had several people tell me it’s the best I’ve ever made. I doubled the batch and the only thing I changed up was that I added 5 tomatillos and added about 10 more ounces each of chicken stock and enchilada sauce.
