This creamy white bean base can be either a soup or a dip. You can also vary the flavor and heat with additions such as green peppers, green chilis, or more chili powder.
Ingredients
2-3 cans of white bean, I prefer cannellini beans for their protein and fiber content
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cups vegetable broth, you can vary amount to adjust consistency
2 clove garlic, minced
1 to 2 tsp cumin
1/2 10 1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tbl olive oil
2 tbl nutritional yeast
Optional: green pepper, green chilis
Instructions

Add beans, broth, and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Blend bean mixture with an immersion blender. Or cool slightly and pour into a blender. Transfer back into pot or bowl and stir in nutritional yeast.
