Dairy-Free White Chicken Chili
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 jalepeno seeded and minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup mild diced green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • 2 cans cannellini beans rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 2 limes juiced
For serving:
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh jalepeno slices
  • Shredded cheese dairy-free
  • Sour cream dairy-free (or use unflavored plant-based yogurt)
  • Tortilla chips corn or grain free

Method
 

  1. Place a large, heavy-bottom pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the avocado oil, diced onion and diced jalepeno. Cook until soft (about 5 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  3. Add minced garlic, green chilis, and spices: oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add the beans and chicken stock. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until about half of the beans are pureed, leaving the remaining beans whole. A counter top blender can also be used for this step.
  5. Add the chicken.
  6. Cover and simmer for 2-25 minutes, stirring regularly.
  7. Ladle desired amount into a soup bowl and top with your desired toppings.
