This light, white vegetarian chili packs plenty of punch from poblanos and green chiles and is packed with fiber-rich beans and veggies. Top it with a bit of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced radishes, cilantro, and diced avocado with a few wedges of lime on the side for a delicious whole meal in a bowl.
