I love this soup! Hearty, comforting and just the right meal for a cold night! Thank you Deryn xx

Excellent! Healthy comfort in a bowl! Easy peasy too! Thank you, Deryn, for ALL of your amazing recipes! 

So good. Wife and I really enjoyed this one. Thanks Deryn!

We love this soup! It has been added to my dinner rotation!

This is a big win in our house! My kids are huge fans of traditional chili, so I was nervous to call this one “chili” for fear of setting the bar too high. I needn’t have worried, though! This one delivers! My only caution is to watch just how much lime zest and juice you add. My hubby found that to be a little strong (maybe my lime was too big?), even though I liked it.

Thanks for all your recipes, Deryn! You always have such a great mix; it makes me just want to have your website do all my meal planning and just cook for that! 🤩

Love, love, loved it. Will definitely be making this one again! Thank you!

My first white bean chili - YUM! And my girls liked it too! Winner! 

Really great! So delicious and easy. Thanks for the recipe!

We loved this soup! I used three different types of beans instead of all white (black, white, and garbanzo). I also added extra smoked paprika and a little liquid smoke. The cilantro and lime were KEY to my enjoyment. Really delicious soup, and lots of tangy, smokey, enticing flavors. Thank you!

Another wonderful recipe from Deryn! Easy and really tasty! Not easy finding jalapeños in Singapore, so I swapped it with a green pepper. Used about 1/4 tsp for crushed red peppers for heat instead of chili powder. Used 2 cans of beans (coz that's all I had!) and reduced the stock to 3 cups. Really flavorful, great one pot meal!

Loved this recipe!!  I’m not a huge fan of jalapeños so I subbed in a Poblano instead…. Delish!!  Thanks!

Made this! It was great, the lime at the end really gave it a nice little zing. I made this with a can of white beans, garbanzo beans, and left over lentils that were already prepared. Turned out great with the substitution. I served it with some cornbread muffins! Thank you for the recipe. 

This is a go to for us!!! Delicious!! Easy to make lots of options for picky eaters if someone wants to change it up slightly. Everything I’ve made off your site has been BOSS!! Thank you!!

This vegan white bean chili with corn and potatoes is packed with flavour and easy to make in under 45 minutes for a healthy weeknight meal.

Vegan White Bean Chili

Warm up with this flavorful Vegan White Chili, made with white beans, soy curls (or your favorite vegan chicken) and a rich, creamy broth. A perfect alternative to the usual tomato based chili!

Vegan White Chili (Creamy and Hearty!)

soy curls (half a bag)*

white onion, finely diced

garlic,

chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

can diced green chiles

cumin

cayenne pepper

corn

salt,

black pepper

lime juice

vegan sour cream*

lime

In a large bowl, add the dehydrated soy curls and cover with about 3 cups of warm water. Let them soak for 10 minutes until they have grown in size and softened.

Drain in a colander and squeeze any excess water from the pieces using your hands. Chop the soy curls into smaller pieces, or simply use your hands to tear them smaller. Set aside.

Prepare the soy curls

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.

Add the broth, drained and rinsed beans, diced green chiles, cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Use an immersion blender a few times to slightly thicken the chili, but make sure to leave plenty of texture. You can skip this part if you don&#39;t have an immersion blender, or use a potato masher to mash some of the chili a little bit. This makes the chili creamier.

Stir in the soy curls and corn and cook for 5 minutes, then add salt and pepper to taste, along with the lime juice. Stir in the vegan sour cream.

Portion in bowls and serve with any desired toppings. Enjoy!

Make the chili

This Vegan White Bean Chili is a quick and easy, flavorful and satisfying recipe perfect for any day of the week! It&#039;s gluten-free and ready in about 30 minutes!

onion (diced)

garlic (minced)

jalapeño pepper (seeded and diced)

chili powder

smoked paprika

salt (or

black pepper (or

(15 oz each) cannellini beans

(4 oz) diced mild green chiles

vegetable stock

sour cream

corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

juice of 1/2 lime

chopped cilantro

jalapeño

Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat on the stove. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the garlic, diced jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper and stir well. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the beans, green chiles, and broth, and stir to combine. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Stir in the vegan sour cream.

Using an immersion blender, purée a bit of the chili in the pot for a thicker consistency. Alternately, you can carefully transfer about 2 cups of the chili to a blender to purée and then transfer back into the pot.

Add the corn and fresh squeezed lime juice and simmer another 2 to 3 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.

Garnish with an extra dollop of vegan sour cream, chopped cilantro and jalapeño slices, if desired.

Just delicious! I used a bell pepper as I didn't have green chiles, and pickled jalapeños.  It was very good even without any toppings. Simple, quick, and satisfying. Thank you!

I made this recipe for the 1st time today for a guest who is hard to please.  Wow!!! Was this a hit!!!  The meal was easy to make &amp; was ready to eat in a snap.  The chili was full of spice &amp; filling on a cool day.  Thanks for a recipe that will be made often.
