    Ingredients

    To make this chili you will need:

    Onion: I usually use yellow onion, but you can use white or red if thats what you have on hand.

    Bell Pepper: I usually use a green bell pepper but have used all colors with delicious results.

    Garlic: For flavor.

    Spices: In this recipe we use chili powder, cumin and oregano.

    Tomato Paste: Tomato paste adds a depth of flavor.

    Crushed Tomatoes: I like Tutto Rosso for crushed tomatoes.

    Vegetable Stock: Veggie stock adds body to the chili.

    Canned Beans: You will need 3 cans of beans. I recommend any beans except chickpeas here.

    Toppings of Choice: Green onion, sour cream, shredded vegan cheese, guacamole- go wild!

    Method

    This Ultimate Easy Vegan Bean Chili is simple but delicious.

    First, sauté the onion and bell pepper until soft.

    Then, add garlic and cook until fragrant.

    Next, add the tomato paste and spices and cook for a minute to bloom the spices and toast the tomato paste.

    Now, add tomatoes, veggie stock and drained and rinsed beans.

    Finally, simmer, stirring occasionally for 20-30 minutes and thats it!

    Serve this veggie chili up with your favorite gluten free and vegan toppings.

    Top Recipe Tip

    Simmer this vegan gluten free chili until its the texture you prefer. I like my chili pretty saucy, so for me, I stop simmering at 20 minutes.

    But, if you like extra thick chili, allow it to simmer for 30 or so minutes.

    Storage

    To store, transter to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    Or freeze for up to a month.
