Ingredients
Scale
- 2 poblano peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small white onion, roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1–15 ounce can sweet corn kernels, rinsed and drained
- 1–28 ounce can hominy, rinsed and drained
- 2–15 ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 3 cups water
- Diced avocados, cilantro and crumbled tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler on high with the rack in the top of the oven. Place the poblano peppers on a foil-lined sheet pan. Broil the peppers, about 2 minutes per side until charred. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover. Let the peppers sit for 10 minutes before using a towel to rub off the skin. Remove the stem and seeds from the peppers and roughly chop them.
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Sauté the onions until they start to turn soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper and continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped poblano peppers, corn, hominy, and the beans, reserving 1 cup. Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer the chili.
- Mash the reserved cup of beans with a fork and stir it into the chili.
- Simmer for 20-25 minutes until the soup has reduced and thickened slightly.
- Spoon the chili into bowls and top with diced avocados, cilantro and crumbled tortilla chips.
