Ingredients for Another Vegetarian Chili

  • Sweet Onion
  • Green Pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Jalapeno Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Pink Beans
  • Frozen Corn Kernels
  • Carrots
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • Mexican Oregano
  • Zucchini
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Another Vegetarian Chili

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (optional). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, vegetable broth, and vegetable bouillon. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped cilantro before serving.
  7. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings (such as avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, or a squeeze of lime) and a dollop of vegan yogurt. Enjoy with brown or white rice!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
