Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) white kidney beans (cannellini), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced green chilies
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, garlic, jalapeño, and green bell pepper. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat vegetables with spices and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add chickpeas, white kidney beans, diced green chilies, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chili thickens slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lime juice. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

For extra creaminess, blend half of the chili before serving, or top with vegan sour cream and avocado slices for a richer flavor.
