Dice onion and bell pepper and deseed and mince jalapeño. Drain and rinse white beans. Heat oil in a large pot over medium low heat and add onions and peppers to the pot.
Saute until soft and fragrant - about 5 minutes. Mix in cumin, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Pour beans into the pot. Mash beans down with potato masher - you just want them slightly squished, not mashed into a paste.
Pour corn, salsa verde, and vegetable broth into the pot and give it a good stir. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Cool slightly and serve with your favorite toppings!
Notes
Lightly mash the white beans to release some starch and thicken the chili.
Use store bought salsa verde to save time and add a ton of flavor.
Simmer uncovered so the chili can thicken.
Feel free to add any other spices or vegetables you would like in your chili.
