Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 jalapeños seeded and minced (you can reduce this for less heat)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander for a mild flavor boost
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for a smoky flavor
- ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 30 oz cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 2 medium Russet potatoes peeled and diced
- 4 oz diced green chiles canned
- 1 cup frozen corn drained
- 15 oz vegetable broth or more, if you prefer a thinner consistency
- ½ cup chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
- ¼ cup lime juice for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and jalapeños, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook the spices for about 1 minute to toast and release their flavors.
- Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let the potatoes cook for about 10-15 minutes, until they are tender.
- Add the cannellini beans, corn, and diced green chiles to the pot. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to heat everything through and allow the flavors to meld.
- Taste the chili and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. If it needs a touch of brightness, add a little more lime juice.
- Serve the chili warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.

Notes
- Use low-sodium beans and broth for better flavor control.
- Don’t skip the lime juice—it ties everything together.
- Mash some beans for a naturally thickened, creamy texture.
- Sauté the spices with onions for enhanced depth.
- Garnish with fresh toppings for added flavor and texture.
