Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 yellow summer squash (or another zucchini or mushrooms)
  • 1 bell pepper (I use orange)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 15 oz. can diced tomatoes (or fire-roasted)
  • 15 oz. can black beans
  • 15 oz. can pinto beans
  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • Optional: 1-2 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. smoked paprika

Toppings (optional):

  • Fresh cilantro, avocado, hot sauce, green onion, vegan cheese shreds, vegan sour cream, tortilla strips, etc.

Instructions

  1. Dice onion, zucchini, summer squash, and bell pepper.
  2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. veggie broth/water for no-oil sauté method.)
  3. Meanwhile, mince garlic. When onion is translucent, add minced garlic and chili powder (plus cumin and smoked paprika if using). Stir and sauté 1 minute.
  4. Add zucchini, squash, and bell pepper. Stir and sauté 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add broth, diced tomatoes, corn, and beans (rinsed and drained).
  6. Increase heat and bring to a light boil. Then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  7. Salt to taste. Add any desired toppings before serving. (I love avocado & hot sauce.)

Notes

  • Richness: The broth is fairly light & thin, so add a 15 oz. can tomato sauce or 2-3 Tbsp. tomato paste for extra richness.
  • Make it spicy: Add jalapeno, chipotle, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, etc.
  • Add mushrooms: Either in place of the zucchini & squash, or in addition to them.
