\"ingredients<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a lot of different ways to make chili, but I decided to stick with the classic flavors for this one. This Vegan Chili is a moderately-spiced, tomato-y stew loaded with chunks of celery, onion, green bell pepper,<\/strong> and carrot. <\/strong>Spices like ancho chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic, and cayenne pepper add some body to the chili, while kidney beans and pinto beans give a hearty and creamy texture.\u00a0<\/strong>Once everything simmers together and of those yummy flavors combine, you\u2019ll be left with a chunky and thick chili that has a surprisingly meaty texture. No need to add any animal protein here!<\/p>\n

    WAYS TO SERVE CHILI<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    I love to top my vegan chili with freshly sliced green onions for a little bite, as well as some nutritional yeast for a \u201ccheesy\u201d taste. I also enjoy a large dollop of vegan sour cream (or thinned out vegan cream cheese) on top of a steamy bowl, but that\u2019s not a deal-breaker in my opinion.You can also top your chili with shredded vegan cheese, avocado, cilantro, and\/or tortilla chips for more of a Southwestern flavor!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    But most importantly, don’t forget the side of Easy Vegan Cornbread<\/strong><\/a>. You can also serve this vegan chili over roasted sweet potatoes or rice for an even heartier main!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
