Ingredients
- 1 small yellow or red onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 small green or red bell pepper diced
- 1 small zucchini grated
- 1 (15-ounce) can of diced tomatoes
- 2 (15-ounce) cans of black beans drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can of pinto beans drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can of garbanzo beans drained
- ½ cup of frozen corn kennels
- 3 tablespoons of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1 (6-ounce) can of tomato paste
- ½ cup of water
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Throw all the ingredients in a crock pot and mix thoroughly. Cook on low for at least four hours, stirring occasionally (every hour or so).
- Alternatively, if you have an Instant Pot, you can throw everything in there and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes with a quick release.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Cut veggies evenly: So they cook evenly.
- For a creamier consistency: You can either use an immersion blender directly in the crockpot or transfer a small amount of the beans to a blender to blend until creamy, then mix back into the chili.
- Adjust the amount of liquid: Add more water (or vegetable broth) based on how ‘soupy’ you’d prefer the vegan chili slow cooker recipe.
