White Chili
This white chili came out a little yellow thanks to homemade low sodium “chicken broth.” It can be made vegan my omitting the sour cream and cheese or by swapping in plant based version.
I cooked my beans and assembled my ingredients (note, I saved my bean cooking broth for use back in the chili).
Not pictured is my broth blend and the mushrooms. I sautéed onion chopped onion in olive oil, adding in one yellow bell chopped, one anaheim chopped with some salt, the pepper blends shown and a touch of the oregano Indio. After everything sautéed I added 1/2 the bag of corn and 8 ounces of chopped mushrooms and let it all sautéed until the mushrooms were cooked. Then I added in my bean broth, my low sodium “chicken” broth and water. Here I added in another teaspoon or so of the oregano Indio and let it simmer about 30 minutes. Garnished with radish, cilantro, cheese and sour cream.
One note about the oregano Indio.
This treasure of from my newly discovered Rancho Gordo in Napa. This oregano is grown for them as a partnership with an organization in Mexico. It’s more earthy than Mexican oregano and lacks the citrus notes. I like it.
