Ingredients
  • 3-15 oz. cans of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 small apples, cut in tiny chunks, no need to peel (I used Empire)
  • 2 teaspoon canola oil
  • 3 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoon. cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth (I used chicken)
  • ½ cup plain non fat yogurt
  • Handful shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tsp oil in a large saucepan until shiny. Add chopped onion and apple and cook until tender, approx. 5 minutes. Add thyme, chili powder, cumin and cornmeal and stir to coat.
  2. Add cannellini beans to pot, 1 can at a time. For a creamier consistency, mash about ⅓ of the beans with a fork or the back of a spoon before adding to pot.
  3. Add in the broth and stir to combine. Simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors are blended.
  4. Just before serving, stir in yogurt and let cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring consistently. Serve topped with cheddar cheese, if desired.
