Warm yourself up with my Mom's hearty, easy, quick vegan chili! It's filled with veggies like onion, peppers, and mushrooms. This is a very forgiving recipe and hard to mess up. Simply throw everything into a pot and let it simmer! This is a great dish to make when you're in a lazy mood and need to cook dinner for a lot of people. This plant-based chili recipe is our go-to for warm winter meals. It's chunky, full of flavor, and very filling. Your family won't even miss the meat or cheese!
Ingredients:
1 cup white onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups bell peppers, chopped
2 cups white mushrooms, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
32 oz whole tomatoes in puree
15 oz red kidney beans
15 oz small white beans
1 cup of dark beer or vegetable broth
6 oz tomato paste
4-6 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried basil
Louisiana hot sauce or cayenne pepper to taste
Vegan sour cream for topping
Tortilla chips for topping
Directions:
Heat a large pot or dutch oven on the stove over medium heat.
Add in the chopped onion, peppers, and 1/2 cup of water.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the veggies become soft and tender.
Add in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the undrained cans of tomatoes, rinsed beans, beer or broth, tomato paste, and spices.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
Add in the chopped mushrooms. ○ To thicken, add more tomato paste and simmer uncovered. ○ To thin, add more broth or water (don't add more beer) and simmer covered.
Serve with some vegan sour cream and tortilla chips for topping.
Tips and Tricks:
If you don't care for the types of beans listed, use whatever beans you prefer!
You can add some vegan ground "beef" or "meat" if desired, giving this a more meaty flavor. Add it in at the beginning with the onions and peppers, then follow the rest of the instructions as listed.
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
