Every household I know has some version of chili in its recipe box. For my part, sometimes I make chili an all-day affair—cooking the beans from scratch, toasting the spices, and letting the chili simmer nice and slow for hours. And then there are days I just need to get dinner on the table. This easy vegan chili recipe is for those occasions, when delicious and fast are both the order of the day. Serve this 30-minute wonder with rice or pasta for an extra-hearty dinner.

How many calories is in this chili? It doesn’t say anywhere
Is that correct 3 tablespoons of chilli ️ powder!!
“MILD” chilli powder. Perhaps its from cayenne peppers….
This was so easy to make and was wonderful. Even my family, who are not vegan, loved it! I’ll be making this a lot.

I used 2 T chili powder, 1/4 tsp coriander. I added a zucchini to the vegetable mixture.
Very good and filling. Whole family loved it!
Word to the question wise! Do not add that much chili powder, even if it is mild it will overpower dish. Also salt and a hint of sugar is necessary! Good recipe, needs more flavor
The recipe already includes salt. As for pure sugar, it’s never necessary, and indeed, it causes harm to our bodies. We limit our intake of sugar to healthy levels by getting it as part of whole-food, e.g. when we eat fruit, including the tomatoes that are in the recipe.
Good suggestions! thanks.
Super easy, quick and delicious! Made it tonight with what I had on hand, including kidney beans, and frozen diced peppers. Garnished with fresh cilantro, scallions, avocado and toasted pumpkin seeds. Family devoured it and gave it a 10 out of 10. Thank you!!
Used kidney beans and a can of corn second time making for a change. Excellent and the original recipe is too! Yum!
Do I have to use a Dutch oven or can I use another pan?
One of my favorite dishes on here. so easy and very tasty. willl make again and again

Came out tasty enough to make again, though I think I’d add tomato paste next time. I did add celery, frozen corn, chopped frozen spinach, and dried parsley. Plus I increased each of the spices a bit.
I would like to know the calories in your chili recipes. I’m overweight and am trying to lose.
I tried to answer but somehow my answer was put elsewhere. Please try a fitness app like Fitness Pal to keep track of calories and nutrition… plus all of your exercise and calories burned. There are many apps available.
Added 1 cup of frozen corn instead of a second can of beans. Used kidney beans instead of pinto. Very delicious and so easy to make!
A really good quick and easy, from the pantry, dish. The best for weeknight dinners!
What is the nutritional info pls
