Recipe Notes :

Chef Pro Tip: Mash 1/2 cup of the white beans before adding them to the pot to create an even creamier texture. Variation: Add 1 cup of frozen corn during the last 5 minutes of simmering for added sweetness. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
