Smoky Vegetarian Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Set a medium stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. (Don't use a nonstick pot.) Dice onion, and add it to the dry pot. Stir continuously until the onion begins to turn translucent, browns slightly, and begins to stick. Add 1/2 cup vegetable stock, to deglaze the onions.
• Meanwhile, dice the sweet potato and set it aside. To the onions, add ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and chopped chipotle chile. Add diced sweet potato and remaining 2 cups of vegetable stock. Simmer over medium heat until the sweet potatoes begin to soften, about 6-8 minutes.
• While the sweet potatoes are cooking, dice the zucchini and mushrooms. Crush the canned tomatoes by hand, and add them to the pot.
• Add diced veggies. Rinse the canned beans, then add them to the pot. Season chili with salt to taste. Simmer over medium-low heat until vegetables are slightly tender, about 20 minutes. Coarsely chop kale and cilantro, and add to the pot.
• Serve hot, garnished with an optional dollop of dairy-free sour cream, sliced avocado, and chopped scallions.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir burger crumbles and browning sauce with the onion until onion and crumbles are coated with sauce; add stewed tomatoes, vegetable broth, chili beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chipotle chili, and salt.
• Bring mixture to a low boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the tomatoes and beans are softened, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add scallions, celery, red pepper and garlic, and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt and chipotle, and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add beans, corn and vegetable broth, and bring to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes.
