This is hands down the easiest vegetarian chili recipe... ever. Ready in under 20 minutes and made almost entirely of pantry staples, it's a lifesaver on busy weeknights. And with only 8 ingredients, it still delivers all the bold, hearty flavors (don't just take my word for it—peep the 20+ rave reviews)!

Instructions

  1. Flavor Base: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until soft and a bit translucent, about 4 minutes. Add chili seasoning and cook for another 1 minute.
  2. Assemble: Add all cans (do not drain anything—add it all). Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes*.
  3. Blend (optional): For a rich texture, ladle 1 cup of the chili into a countertop blender. Do not fully close the lid (it can be very dangerous to blend hot liquids—steam must be able to escape). Blend the mixture until smooth, then add it back to the main pot of chili and stir well.
  4. Serve hot topped with your favorites, like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and crushed corn chips!
