Creamy White Bean Chili (Vegan+GF)
Is it just me, or is chili just one of the ultimate go-tos for comfort food?
Personally, I can enjoy a classic, smoky, firehouse-style, tomato-based chili from time to time. Although, I prefer it on the mild side because I’m a spice wimp.
However, when it comes to my preference I think a creamy white bean chili with a more Mexican flair is my favorite. It also wins votes in my house because pretty much my whole family agrees with me. Tell me, what’s your preference?
I made this chili with dried beans that I soaked overnight but if you don’t have the time on your hands it’s totally alright to use canned beans. Use 5 – 6 cups of cooked beans which should be about 4 cans. I love how easy this soup comes together and it’s a one pot dish so that makes the clean up so much less hassle.
