How to Make 20 Minute White Bean Chili

  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  8. Stir in 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, and 1 cup frozen corn.
  9. Cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  10. Serve hot, topped with tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
