White Bean Chili Recipe | Easy to Make & Vegan

February 14, 2018 Food, Lifestyle

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!! It’s been awhile since I’ve shared a meal recipe with you all and since it’s still Winter and we just got dumped on with snow in the Midwest, I figured a chili recipe would be perfect! Will you be going out or staying in this Valentine’s Day?! If you’re staying in, this recipe is sure to win over the heart of your loved one!

My friend and coworker, Hannah actually made this vegan white bean chili recipe for me last month and I instantly became obsessed, so kudos to her for bringing this amazing dish to my attention!! I’ve also been following Kathleen Barnes lately from the blog, Carrie Bradshaw Lied and have been loving her Plant-Based Diet Meal Plans, so you should definitely check those out if you’re interested! 

Vegan White Bean Chili

Yes, this is a VEGAN dish, however I am not Vegan. I would like to be one day, but not sure how easy that will be with a meat-eater husband! I used to not eat dairy for a little bit, and my recent goal is to wean myself back off of dairy again! I don’t eat too much dairy as it is, but boy how I love me some Brie or a good cheese platter! If you like these types of posts, let me know and I can definitely share more favorites in the future! If you missed my post with Ashley from Style608, we shared a yummy drink recipe and chocolate covered pretzel recipe in our GALentine’s Day post!

Now, I pretty much followed the recipe to the T from Feeding Your Beauty Blog, with just a few tweaks!

Prep time: 10 minutes (*not counting cashew soak time)

Cook time: 45 minutes

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

  • 2 large yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 32 oz vegetable broth – I used Pacific Organic Vegetable Broth
  • 1 -15.5oz can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 -15.5oz can of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1- 15.5oz can of corn, drained
  • 4.5oz can of green chiles
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
  • optional – 1/4 tsp cayenne (I added)

Cashew Cream

  • 1/2 cup soaked cashews (soaked 2-4 hours, or boil for 10 minutes)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Note: You can sub 1 cup of dairy-free sour cream for the cashew cream

Toppings

  • Avocado, diced
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Fresh Jalapeno, chopped and seeded



Instructions:

Add 2 – 3 tbsp of water to a large pot and heat over medium until shimmering. Add the peppers, onion, and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding an extra splash of water if needed.

Add remaining ingredients, except the soaked cashews, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover, continue to cook for about 40 minutes.

While the chili is cooking, make the cashew cream. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine your soaked cashews with 1/2 cup of water and 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Blend on high until smooth, adding an extra 1/4 cup of water if needed.

After the 40 minutes, add the cashew cream to the chili and turn the heat up to medium and cook for about 5 more minutes. Top with jalapenos, avocado, and cilantro. ENJOY!


This recipe is so delicious and my husband absolutely loves it as well! It made a ton of food, so we froze some of it for later! The best part of this chili are the toppings, so don’t forget those! Feel free to add hot sauce, like Valentina’s if you want to kick it up a bit! Another great way to enjoy it is with tortilla chips!



I hope you enjoyed this recipe and don’t forget to check out FeedingYourBeauty.com for her recipe since it’s just a tad different than mine! Below is my Vegan Recipe Pinterest board if you’re interested in checking out some of the recipes!

 

Until next time,

5 Ways I Keep My Curls Lasting for Days! {read on} 5 Ways I Keep My Curls Lasting for Days! {read on} ⤵️⤵️

❇️SAVE this post for when you’re wanting to save some time getting ready!

I go 5-7 days between hair washes (see previous post with same outfit for tips on how I do that) & I usually do a full head curl on day 1 or 2 and then touch up as I go. I often get asked how I keep the curls up throughout the week or if I have to recurl them everyday. I’m sharing my 5 tips below on how to take care of your hair to ensure all you need are touch ups until hair wash day. 

1️⃣ Wear a loose pony to bed - do a side braid if your hair is long, or do a semi-messy bun without being too messy. Some people prefer bonnets too- I haven’t personally used one but I’ve heard they help! 

2️⃣Silk pillowcases are a game changer - especially to keep your hair from kinking overnight causing you to need to redo your entire head the next day.

3️⃣The hair products you use make a difference—I avoid using too much product that can weigh down the curls, but texture spray seems to help keep my curls in tact longer. Don’t forget your heat protectant too! 

4️⃣The hot tools you use ALSO make a huge difference! I prefer my @t3micro wand and my @hottoolspro straightener. They hold my curls the best out of any hot tools I’ve used! 

5️⃣Use a bristle brush before bed - this will help smooth out any knots and will make it easier in the morning to restyle quickly.

Follow these tips & all you will need is a quick touch up of your curls! If you found this helpful, share this post with someone who might also find it helpful!
