1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 oz.) can artichoke hearts, quartered
1 (4.5 oz.) can chopped green chilis

generous pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of white ground pepper
2 to 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
juice from 1 fresh lime
6 green onions, sliced for garnish

How we make it

Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until onion is tender (about 5 minutes).

Add the green chilis and green bell pepper and cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the beans, artichoke hearts and dried seasonings, stir well and add the vegetable broth. Squeeze in the lime juice. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, add the diced tomatoes and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with the sliced green onion. You might also like a few tortilla chips crumbled on top, before you add the green onion.
