White Bean Chili Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried white beans, soaked overnight and drained
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beans: After soaking the white beans overnight, drain and rinse them thoroughly to remove any impurities.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Beans and Spices: Add the soaked beans to the pot along with cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
  4. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Add the broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally until the beans are tender and the chili has thickened to your liking.
  5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the chili and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or spices if desired. Serve warm, garnished with your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, sour cream, or shredded cheese if preferred.

Notes

  • Soaking beans overnight reduces cooking time and helps with digestion.
  • Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version or chicken broth for richer flavor.
  • For creamier chili, mash some beans against the pot before finishing cooking.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
