This Vegan White Chicken Chili is so delicious and incredibly easy to make!

Ingredients:
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 yellow onion, diced
* 1 jalapeño, diced
* 1 poblano pepper, diced
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* ½ tablespoon cumin
* ½ tablespoon chili powder
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon pepper
* 3 cups vegetable broth, or no-chicken bouillon+water
* (2) 15 oz cans of white beans, drained and rinsed
* 4 oz can of fire roasted green chilies
* 1 cup frozen corn
* 8 oz vegan cream cheese
* 8 oz frozen vegan chicken pieces
* ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
* ½ lime, juiced

Steps:
1️⃣ Heat a large pot to medium-high. Once heated, add the oil then the onions, poblano, and jalapeño. Sauté them until they are softened for about 4-5 minutes.

2️⃣ Add the garlic and seasoning. Stir this for a couple minutes until it becomes fragrant.

3️⃣ Add a little of the water to deglaze the pan by scraping at anything that's stuck to the bottom. Then add the remaining water, bouillon, beans, and green chilies. Bring this to a boil then reduce it to medium low. Cover it and let it for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4️⃣ Use a masher on some beans or immersion blender if you want a thicker consistency. (I don't find this step to be necessary.) Stir in the frozen vegan chicken pieces, frozen corn, and vegan cream cheese. Let it cook uncovered for 5-10 more minutes or until heated through.

5️⃣ Take the pot off the heat and stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Enjoy it with your favorite toppings such as crushed tortilla chips, avocados, cilantro, and jalapeños.
