Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 bell pepper I use green and red
- 4 cloves garlic
- 15 oz. black beans canned
- 15 oz. pinto beans canned
- 15 oz. Kidney Beans can
- 15 oz. diced tomato or regular diced or fire-roasted, petite, canned
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup sweet corn (canned, frozen, or fire-roasted)
- 1 1/3 Tbsp. chili powder (1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp.)
- 2 tsp. cumin ground
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
Toppings (optional):
- avocado crumbled
- cilantro
- green onion
- hot sauce
- vegan sour cream
- tortilla chips
Instructions
- Dice onion.
- In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, dice bell peppers and mince garlic.
- When onion is translucent, add bell peppers, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (with juice).
- Rinse and drain beans. Add to stockpot.
- Increase heat and bring to a light boil. Then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 25 minutes.
- Stir in sweet corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking. (If using frozen, no need to thaw first.)
- Salt & pepper to taste and serve with any desired toppings.
Notes
- Make it spicy: This recipe is mild as written (if using a mild chili powder). For a spicy version, add chipotle powder, chipotles in adobo sauce, a pinch of cayenne pepper, diced jalapeño, or top with hot sauce before serving.
- Thickness: The broth is fairly thin, so thicken it up with a couple tablespoons of tomato paste if desired. (Or simply use less broth.)
- Yield: Recipe makes about 10 cups chili. (Or about 5 large bowls of 2 cups each.)
