As with all my recipes, the most important part is the spices that we use in the dish and that make the recipe a special experience. So don't be put off by the spices.

How to make
Fry the chopped onions and garlic vigorously in a pan. I always add a sip of water so that nothing burns. Add the chopped celery and braise it with the onions.
Take the soaked cashews and water and mix it in a high speed blender to a creamy consistency.
Deglaze the onions with the white wine.
When the white wine is cooked off, add the remaining ingredients and the cashew cream and stir. Let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes. So that the taste of the spices unfolds. Remove the bay leaves and juniper berries. If you can't find them, don't worry. Just pay attention to it while eating.
Garnish the soup with green chillies and tortilla chips.
What white beans should I use?
If you can only find white beans in the store, take them. We have a variety of white beans in the United States. No matter what kind of white beans you use, the important thing is that they are white. So that the chili stays white.
What can I use as a white wine substitute?
If you want to make the recipe without wine, just add about 2 tablespoons of white balsamic vinegar later. So you get more flavor in your chilli.
Can I make this chilli in advance?
The chilli can be prepared very well in advance. Simply prepare the chilli 1-2 days beforehand and then briefly heat it up again in the pot.
What can I do with leftover white chilli?
- Prepare loaded nachos with the white chilli by adding other vegetables such as olives, corn, tomatoes and tortilla chips.
- Eat it as soup as before
How can I store leftover white chilli?
Store the chilli in the fridge in an airtight container for about 4 days. Or freeze the chilli and take it out of the freezer the night before. The chili lasts in the freezer for about 4 months.
