2 t. olive oil

1 t. dried oregano
1/4 t. kosher salt or to taste
1/8 t. freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 t. ground cumin
2 c. low-sodium vegetable broth
15 oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
15 oz. can navy beans, rinsed
15 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed
4 oz. can diced green chiles
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/8 - 1/4 t. ground cayenne pepper (or less for less heat)
freshly squeezed juice of 1 medium lime
Optional Toppings: fresh cilantro, lime wedges for squeezing on top, scallions, onions, grated cheese, avocado, sour cream, green tabasco
Place a medium or large pot over low heat; add olive oil, onion, oregano, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
Add garlic and cumin; cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute; add broth, beans, chiles, cloves and cayenne; stir to combine. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer; cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened a little bit. Remove from heat.
Use a potato masher or fork to smash a bit of the beans to help thicken it up. Squeeze the lime over the top; stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve with desired toppings.
