- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, optional
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 medium potato, peeled and diced (3 heaping cups, 525 g)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (1000 ml)
- 3 x 540 mL can white kidney beans, drained and rinsed (about 7.5 cups)
- 2 cups frozen corn (225 g)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (20 g)
- zest and juice from 1 lime (approx. 1/8 cup lime juice and 1 tbsp zest)

Instructions
- Cook Onion, Garlic and Jalapeno: In a large pot over medium heat, sauté onions, garlic and jalapeño in the olive oil until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add Spices: Add cumin, paprika, thyme, oregano and chili flakes and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add Potato and Broth: Add the potatoes and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Add Beans: Add beans and continue to simmer lightly for 15-20 minutes.
- Mash: With a potato masher or immersion blender, pulse or mash potatoes and beans 3 or 4 times to create texture and thicken. You could also scoop 1-2 cups of the chili into a high-speed blender or food processor, blend briefly then pour back into the pot and give it a good stir to combine.
- Add Cilantro: Fold in corn and cilantro and turn off the heat.
- Add Lime: Finish chili by stirring in fresh lime juice, lime zest and fresh cracked black pepper. Serve hot with finely chopped green onions and avocado or any other toppings of choice.
