Description
A creamy and flavorful chili that’s perfect for a cozy night in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 15 ounce cans white beans, drained
- 1 7 ounce can jalapeño slices, drained
- 8 ounces vegan cream cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 cup chopped bell pepper
- 3/4 cup chopped white onion
- 1 cup corn, cooked and peeled
Instructions
- Heat a small amount of oil — or vegetable broth for oil-free cooking — in a large casserole over medium heat. Add the garlic and optional onion and bell pepper. Cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Do not keep stirring; it will become smooth within a few minutes. Cook on medium heat for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy and uniform.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add the drained white beans and optional corn. Stir to combine and cook for a further 5 minutes until the beans are warmed through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Ladle into bowls and serve with your choice of toppings — tortilla chips, fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sliced green onion, or a squeeze of lime all work well.
Notes
- This chili can be served with various toppings to enhance the flavor.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more jalapeños or chili powder if desired.
