Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Base
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. This helps to sauté the onions and garlic, releasing their flavors.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the drained white beans, diced green chilies, chicken broth, shredded chicken, and corn to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Finish the Chili
- Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. This helps to thicken the chili.
Serve
- Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheese.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips or crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
