Summary

A silky, cashew-creamy white bean chili layered with bright green chiles, sweet corn, and tender leafy greens. Subtly spiced, comforting, and weeknight-easy in 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the cashew milk: In a high-speed blender, combine the water and raw cashews and blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the ground cumin, sea salt (start with the lesser amount), black pepper, and cayenne. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir in the diced green chiles, drained and rinsed white beans, and corn until combined.

  5. 5

    Pour in the cashew milk and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. If too thick, add a splash of water or dairy-free milk to thin.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt for overall flavor and more cayenne for heat as desired.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and stir in the spinach or kale until just wilted.

  8. 8

    Serve warm with cornbread, cilantro, green onion, and hot sauce, if desired.
