In a large pot, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and thinly sliced chard stems, along with sea salt and black pepper. Sauté for 10 minutes, or until the chard stems are very soft.

Add the minced garlic and lemon zest, cook until fragrant, approximately 30 seconds.

To the pot, add the cooked white beans, vegetable broth, bay leaves, and half of the prepared chili oil. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves, then add the chopped chard leaves. Cover the pot allowing the leaves to wilt, approximately two to three minutes.

Remove the lid, stir in the wilted leaves, and oat milk. Bring the mixture to a boil again, then remove it from the heat.

Stir in the lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, drizzled with the remaining chili oil.
