How to make this White Bean Enchilada Soup
So you begin by caramelising the onions. So, heat olive oil in a dutch oven. As the oil shimmers, add the chopped onions and bell peppers.
As the onions get caramelised, add the chopped garlic and the bay leaf.
Now, add the spices - Cayenne Pepper, Ground Cumin, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Black Pepper and Salt. Stir to combine everything.
Now, add the vegetable broth and cook until the veggies tenderise.
Add the canned white beans, green chilis and the corn. Allow it to come to a slow boil
Add the heavy cream and stir to combine
Make Cornstarch slurry by combining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoon of cold milk.
As the soup boils and all the veggies and beans get cooked, add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the soup thickens
Serve with some Sour Cream and chopped Jalapenos & Cilantro on top. You can also add some Salsa or Guacamole on top.
Important tips to make this Soup
This soup should typically be a little thick. So there are a couple of ways of thickening it.
- You can make a roux by cooking the flour with the veggies and the olive oil. As the flour gets cooked, the raw smell of it will go away and then when you will add the broth, the soup will automatically thicken.
- You can make the Cornstarch slurry-like I did and add it to your soup, just after it gets prepared. This will thicken our your soup. Also, this will make your soup Gluten-free! You can replace Cornstarch with Arrowroot.
