Sauté onions and garlic with a little bit of salt until the onions turn translucent.

Pour in vegan chicken broth.

Add corn, white beans, canned green chilies, and all of the delicious spices.

Add chicken style seitan (or another chicken substitute or extra can of white beans).

Let the mixture simmer.

While the chili simmers, make cashew cream by combining soaked cashews and water in a blender and blending until smooth.

When the simmering time is up, add the cashew cream to the chili along with a good squeeze of lime juice.

Stir everything together.

Dish it up with your favorite toppings, such as green onion and cilantro.
