Equipment
- 1 Large pot
- Immersion blender or high speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 540 ml white navy beans cannellini beans also work
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup soy milk
- 540 ml chickpeas
- 125 g soy curls or chunks
- 113 ml chopped green chilis I used canned
- 1½ cups frozen corn
- 2 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Start by placing your soy curls in a large bowl of water to rehydrate. Let sit for about 10 minutes until they're plump and soft.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Add the vegetable broth, soy milk and white navy beans to the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the white navy beans, veggie broth, soy milk, garlic and onion until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can transfer the mixture to a blender and blend that way instead, then add the mixture back to the pot.
- Drain the rehydrated soy curls. Add them to the pot along with the chickpeas, corn, diced chilli cumin, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for 2–3 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 15 minutes with the lid off, stirring occasionally. The chili will thicken over this time.
- Just before serving, stir in the apple cider vinegar. Serve with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, or a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!
