Slow Cooker: White Bean and Apple Chili

     This weekend has been such a blur.  I went to the grocery store and completely forgot to even think about lunch for the week.  Luckily it is a short week.  I quickly scoured Pinterest this morning for something easy I could make using ingredients I already had at home...which wasn't much.  This is what I came up with, White Bean and Apple Chili.  Seems an odd combo to me...we shall see!

White Bean and Apple Chili
Ingredients
3 cans of white beans, drained and rinsed
2 apples, chopped into small pieces
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
3 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

Method
1. Place the butter at the bottom of the crock pot.
2.  Top the butter with two cans of the while beans.
3. Add the apple, onion, garlic, broth, and spices.
4. Stir in the yogurt.
5. Cook on low for 8 hours.
6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup a bit, but not until it is smooth, just a bit chunky.
7. Stir in the third can of soup and heat through.
8. You can add cheddar cheese and sour cream to this chili if you want to.
