📝 Ingredients List
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 (4-ounce) can green chiles
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups oat milk
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
- Crumbled tortilla chips
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot (like a Dutch oven) over medium heat.
- Sauté onion and bell pepper for about 8 minutes, until soft and fragrant. 🧅🌶️
- Stir in green chiles and spices (chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, cayenne, and salt). Mix well.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add oat milk and white beans. Use an immersion blender to lightly blend part of the soup — it should be creamy but still have chunks. (Or blend a portion separately and return it to the pot.)
- Stir in corn and lime juice. Simmer until everything is heated through. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. 🥣✨
- Serve hot with toppings like avocado, tortilla chips, and fresh cilantro!
💡 Pro Tips
- Meal prep tip: Make a double batch and freeze half before adding milk/beans!
- To freeze: Stop at step 4. Once cooled, freeze the base for up to 3 months. Add oat milk and beans when reheating.
- Substitution idea: Swap oat milk with cashew or almond milk for a slightly different creaminess.
- Serving suggestion: Serve with warm tortillas or over rice for an even heartier meal.
