A hearty vegetarian chili that features fresh winter greens and white beans. This not-so-traditional chili is loaded with vegetables and will keep you warm on the snowiest of winter nights. Use your favourite mix of winter greens; spinach, kale, chard, rapini or collards. For a vegan friendly version, simply use a dairy-free cheddar cheese and sour cream for topping!
