How do you make Vegan White Bean Chili?

As I said, this recipe doesn’t get much easier. What you’ll want to start with is, of course, chopping your veggies and getting all your ingredients prepped because you stew down the garlic and onions in the olive oil in your pot. This will really help absorb all the yummy flavour from the garlic and onions before you add in all the other ingredients. 

Next, you’ll want to throw in all your herbs and spices, along with vegetable broth, coconut aminos, and basically all your yummy ingredients will be thrown in here. Yep, it’s really that simple. There’s no particular order here because it’ll all cook down together to formulate a flavourful chili. Let everything come to a boil before you turn the heat down to simmer and let it simmer for a while to get all those flavours marinated together. 

The best part of this recipe is really adding your favourite toppings to it. Cut up some fresh jalapenos if you like a kick, tortilla chips, sour cream, vegan cheese, fresh red onions, fresh herbs, and/or some lime slices to squeeze over top.

What’s great about this part of the recipe is that you can really get the whole family involved in making their chili their own. Kids will love this part!

To the pot, add the vegetable stock paste, nutritional yeast, coconut aminos and beans. Stir till well combine, increase heat to high and add the water.  Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until the beans are extremely buttery.  Once the beans are perfect, finish the soup by adding the corn and miso.  Cook for 5 minutes or until the temperature of the soup is bake to an even simmer.

Serve hot with all the gorgeous toppings listed above.

Notes

Soup will last up to 1 week in the fridge in a tightly sealed container.

If you want to switch up the beans I suggest any white bean.

Feel free to play around with the toppings and vegetables in the soup.  I suggest peas as an alternative for the corn and using basil in place of cilantro!
