- 1 can diced green chiles 4 ounces
- 1 cup corn kernels

Instructions
- First, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the diced onion, minced garlic, and minced jalapeño. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.

- Allow the chili to simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream or sour cream. Season the chili with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Allow the chili to rest for a few minutes to deepen the flavors.
- Finally, ladle the white bean chili into bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
