Ingredients
- 2-3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups yellow onion finely diced, 1 medium
- 1 jalapeño seeds removed, finely diced
- 1 bell pepper finely diced
- 30 ounces cannellini beans drained and rinsed, 2 cans
- 15 ounces Navy beans drained and rinsed, 1 can
- 4-5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- plash Worcestershire sauce
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes Rotel brand
- 4 ounces diced green chiles
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 ½ cups corn frozen
- 8 ounces cream cheese cubed
- ½ cup cilantro tightly packed, finely chopped
- ½ lime juiced, more to taste
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or stock pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, jalapeno, and bell pepper with a pinch of kosher salt. Saute for 4-5 minutes.
- As the veggies cook, drain and rinse the beans, then smash about 1 ½ cups of beans (or 1 can) using a potato masher or fork. Set aside.
- Add minced garlic and spices, sauteing for another 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in whole and smashed beans, stock, Worcestershire sauce, Rotel, and chiles. Add another pinch of kosher salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Stir in frozen corn and cream cheese cubes until completely melted. Then, stir in cilantro and lime juice. Taste test after adding lime juice - it will really brighten up and bring out the flavor. Add additional salt if needed.
- Serve with tortilla chips, avocado, additional cilantro, green onion, sour cream, jalapenos or your other favorite toppings! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
