White Chili

I am realizing that this is probably the third chili recipe that I've posted, but I felt compelled because Lucas said it was the 'best ever.' I really like a one-pot meal and I love to make it on Sunday night for Monday. Tonight I went to the gym after work and came home to a great meal that just had to be reheated. This recipe is adapted from what I saw Giada De Laurentiis making on Food Network over the weekend. It was nice for summer because it used corn and wasn't super heavy. I used frozen, but you could certainly use fresh. The cannelini beans are light and creamy as well.
