Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp red chili peppers de-seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 ½ oz jalapeños drained, tinned
  • 2 ½ cups cannellini beans
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 cups potato peeled and diced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 cups spinach

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large saucepan or wide frying pan over a medium-high heat, then add the chilli peppers, garlic, and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the celery, peppers, carrots, cumin, paprika and garlic powder. Continue cooking for a further 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
  3. Add the jalapeno peppers, cannellini beans, soy sauce, potatoes, vegetable broth and nutritional yeast. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for around 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Add more vegetable broth if it starts to look too dry.
  4. Carefully pour ½ of the chili into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, then return back to the pan together with salt and cornstarch, and simmer for a further 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. At the end, stir in the spinach and serve once the spinach wilts.

Notes

  • You can keep this chili in the fridge for 4-5 days in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of vegetable broth or plant based milk when you do so as it will thicken up in the fridge.
  • To freeze, store it in labelled freezer bags for up to 2 months, allowing to thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating as instructed above.
