SMOKY VEGAN CHILI

This recipe is a long-time favorite in my house. It's quick to make and is very healthy. The adobo chili is a must. You can find them in a small can in the Mexican food aisle of most grocery stores. This chili freezes well, so double the recipe if you want.

SMOKY VEGETARIAN CHILI

Believe it or not, I discovered this recipe in InStyle. I have made it so many times and it is always gobbled up by everyone. I have made it for parties and kids. I sometimes serve it "Cincinnati" style - over spaghetti and topped with cheddar cheese or with tortilla chips. Making a pot now on a rainy day - yum!

SMOKY VEGGIE CHILI



Smoky Veggie Chili image

This is a recipe that has stuck with me for many years. It always makes me think of that time of year when summer's ending and you're taking out the soup pots. This chili is packed with veggies like beans, mushrooms and kale which contain plenty of phytonutrients and protein. You'll get a balance of sweetness from the yams and smokiness from the paprika and chipotle. All together it's a simple, one-pot family meal.

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 small white onion
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock, divided
1 cup diced sweet potato
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 chipotle chile en adobo, chopped
1 medium zucchini
1 cup diced cremini mushrooms
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
1 15.5-ounce can black beans
1 15.5-ounce can kidney beans
Sea salt
1 cup chopped kale, Tuscan, black, or Lacinato
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 avocado
1 small bunch scallions
Dairy-free sour cream

Steps:

  • Set a medium stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. (Don't use a nonstick pot.) Dice onion, and add it to the dry pot. Stir continuously until the onion begins to turn translucent, browns slightly, and begins to stick. Add 1/2 cup vegetable stock, to deglaze the onions.
  • Meanwhile, dice the sweet potato and set it aside. To the onions, add ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and chopped chipotle chile. Add diced sweet potato and remaining 2 cups of vegetable stock. Simmer over medium heat until the sweet potatoes begin to soften, about 6-8 minutes.
  • While the sweet potatoes are cooking, dice the zucchini and mushrooms. Crush the canned tomatoes by hand, and add them to the pot.
  • Add diced veggies. Rinse the canned beans, then add them to the pot. Season chili with salt to taste. Simmer over medium-low heat until vegetables are slightly tender, about 20 minutes. Coarsely chop kale and cilantro, and add to the pot.
  • Serve hot, garnished with an optional dollop of dairy-free sour cream, sliced avocado, and chopped scallions.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans and lentils for a more flavorful and textured chili. Try using a combination of black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and lentils.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Some good options include corn, zucchini, bell peppers, and carrots.
  • Add some spices to give your chili a bit of a kick. Chili powder, cumin, and paprika are all good options.
  • If you want a thicker chili, add some masa harina or cornstarch. You can also add some crushed tortilla chips or bread crumbs.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Smoky vegetarian chili is a delicious, hearty, and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a pot of chili that will be enjoyed by the whole family.
