How to Prepare Oil-Free White Bean Chili [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to a large pot and heat over medium until shimmering. Add the peppers, onion, and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes or until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally and adding an extra splash of water if needed.
Add remaining ingredients, except the soaked cashews and frozen corn, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover, continue to cook for about 40 minutes.
While the chili is cooking, make the cashew cream. In a high-speed blender, combine your soaked cashews with 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Blend on high until smooth, adding an extra 1/4 cup of water if needed.
At the 40 minute mark, stir in the frozen corn and cashew cream. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until heated through. Serve with fresh cilantro.
