How to Make Ain T No Beans About It Vegan Chili
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced), and 1 cup of chopped carrots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth, 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed). Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of trimmed green beans and 2 cups of fresh spinach. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the flavors have melded.
- If the chili is too thick, add more vegetable broth or water, 1/2 cup at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
