EASY VEGETARIAN CHILI RECIPE

This delicious Easy Vegetarian Chili Recipe is our family's go-to, one pot dinner. It's full of healthy vegetables and is so easy to make. It's perfect for a Meatless Monday vegan meal.

I love sitting down to a big bowl of hearty vegetarian chili on a cool evening. I actually prefer vegetarian chili to a meat-based chili even though I can no longer refer to myself as a vegetarian.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 1-3 tablespoons chili powder (more will be spicier)
• 2 tablespoons of cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 – 2 teaspoons of chili flakes (the more chili flakes the spicier it will be)
• 2 bell peppers, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 3 celery stalks, diced
• 2 – 28oz cans of whole tomatoes and their juice (use your hands to roughly crush the tomatoes)
• 2 – 15-ounce cans of beans, drained and rinsed (I like kidney and white beans)
• 2 cup of frozen corn (you could use fresh but frozen is easy and works great)
• Salt, to taste (I like about 2 teaspoons)
• Non-veg option: 1/4 cup prawn stock (you won't taste it specifically but it will add richness to the dish)
• Optional toppings: sour cream, cheddar cheese, cilantro, diced avocados or green onion.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, and chili flakes and stir for about 30 seconds.
• Add the peppers, carrots, and celery and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they just start to soften. Add tomatoes and their juice and bring to a simmer. Once the chili begins to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. You want the chili to be at a low simmer with the lid off.
• Continue to cook the chili, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add beans and corn and let the chili return to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes or until the corn and beans have heated through.
