Simple Veggie Chili

Makes 6 servings. Total time: 35 mins

This veggie chili might be the easiest (and yummiest) you'll ever make! While it seems like a long list of ingredients, it all comes together quickly and it will feed you for a few days, which is always the goal! You could totally add a ground meat of your choice to this but the veggie packed flavours are oh so good on their own.

What you need to make it:

• 1 large white or red onion

• 2 large garlic cloves, minced

• 2 large carrots, diced

• 2 celery stalks, diced

• 1 can red or white kidney beans, drained and rinsed well

• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well

  • Note: can sub any canned beans you have on hand

• 1 can organic diced tomatoes

• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced (seeds in tact if you like it hot or remove if not!)

• ½ tbsp miso paste (optional)

• 3/4 tbsp cumin

• 1 tbsp chili powder

• ½ tbsp paprika or smoked paprika (I like to use both!)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 2 cups veggie broth

• 2 tbsp EVO

• Fresh cilantro & a lime wedge for serving

What to do to make it:

1. Heat a large pot on medium heat, add EVO

2. Add garlic, onion, jalapeno, carrot and celery to pot and saute for 5 mins

3. Add spices and salt and pepper and saute another 2 mins, stirring frequently

4. Add diced tomatoes, beans, miso paste and stir 1 more minute before adding veggie broth

5. Increase heat to medium high to bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for at least 30 mins and up to 4 hours. The longer it simmers the better IMO!

6. Enjoy with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice
