My Favorite Recipes: easy vegetarian chili recipe!

February 19, 2018 By Noelle 64 Comments

I’ve been promising this one for A WHILE and finally here it is! My favorite and easy vegetarian chili recipe! I swear I make this stuff and usually freeze half (I feel like chili is so good after it’s been frozen too!) but this makes so much which is great if you have a busy week coming up and are trying to eat at home as much as possible or have a big fam!

INGRIDENTS

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • 1-3 tablespoons chili powder (more will be spicier)
  • 2 tablespoons of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 – 2 teaspoons of chili flakes (the more chili flakes the spicier it will be)
  • 2 peppers, diced (I used 1 red and 1 yellow pepper)
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 3 stalks of celery, diced
  • 2 – 28oz cans of whole tomatoes and their juice (use your hands to roughly crush the tomatoes)
  • 2 can of beans, drained and rinsed (I used kidney and black beans)
  • 2 cup of frozen corn (you could use fresh but frozen is easy and works great)
  • Salt to taste (you’ll need quite a lot)
  • Optional toppings: feta, sour cream, cheddar cheese, cilantro, diced avocados or green onion. My personal fav is feta and avocado!
  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add spices and cook stirring for about 30 seconds.
  2. Add peppers, carrots, and celery and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they just start to soften. Add tomatoes and their juice and bring to a simmer. Once the chili begins to simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. You want the chili to be at a low simmer with the lid off.
  3. Continue to cook the chili, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add beans and corn and let the chili return to a simmer. Cook for 5 more minutes or until the corn and beans have heated through.
  4. Generously salt to taste.
  5. Serve on its own or topped with one (or all!) of the delicious toppings.
  6. Enjoy!

In my mind I had some sort of expectation of how he would be at birth or with our daughter and wow he is just beyond anything I ever could of imagined. He kept telling me how proud he was of me while I was pushing, giving me so many words of encouragement that just fueled me through. He listens to the baby blues I often get as the sun sets and does the 5 minute journal with me to help reflect on all the days positive moments. He reminds me it’s normal and okay to cry during this time. He thanks me for growing our perfect little girl. He just makes me feel seen at this time where my emotions are all over the place. While this time becoming a mom has been MAGICAL it’s also a lot of emotions of what my new future looks like, realizing what will never be the same about my old life. He listens to it all with no judgement ❤️ I even texted his mom to say thank you for creating and raising such a wonderful son ❤️ basically all this to say- I love Danny even more and I didn’t think that was physically possible 🥹 my heart has truly grown 10 more sizes the past few days
