How to Make White Bean Chili

Step 1

Place the beans and corn kernels in a large crock pot or slow cooker. Set aside.
Step 2

Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic to a medium mixing bowl and mix to combine. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion mixture and saute until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
Step 3

Add the chiles (undrained), cumin, oregano, chili powder, black pepper and red pepper flakes (if using); cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4

Add 1 cup vegetable broth, ½ cup water and ½ cup almond milk and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into the crock pot over the beans and corn. Add the remaining vegetable broth, water and almond milk and stir to combine.
Step 5

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Once done, turn off the crockpot and carefully transfer about 2 heaping cups of the chili into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Return to the crock pot and stir to combine. Add the lime juice and stir to combine. Serve and enjoy!
Step 6

Store any leftover chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
