White Chicken Chili (Thick Soup)

This recipe is a favorite at parties and pot lucks and I often cook it the day before camping trips and reheat if for many rave reviews! I never bring any home! The success of the recipe does not hinge upon any single ingredient, except the chicken & Chili Powder. Feel free to substitute to fit what you have on hand. You may even use plain yogurt instead of Half & Half to lessen fat content. But go all the way if you can!
