In the bustling kitchen of Chef Maria's cozy restaurant nestled in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, inspiration struck one brisk autumn evening. As the aroma of spices filled the air and the fire crackled in the hearth, Chef Maria envisioned a comforting bowl of chili that would warm the soul and awaken the taste buds. Drawing from the vibrant culinary traditions of the Southwest, she crafted a recipe that combined creamy white beans, hearty corn, and the unmistakable kick of Chopped Chile Co. Green Hatch Chiles. Thus, her signature Vegetarian White Bean Chili was born—a celebration of wholesome ingredients and bold flavors that brings a taste of New Mexico to every spoonful.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions
In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic and cumin, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until garlic is softened slightly and fragrant.
Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
Add pinto beans, cannellini beans, corn, and Chopped Chile Co. Green Hatch Chiles. Bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Ladle out one cup of the chili and use a blender to blend until smooth, then return the chili to the pot. Stir well until chili has thickened.
