Vegetarian Chili

Inez, this hit the spot for my craving for a good vegetatian chili! I didn't have any pinto beans so I just used black beans. I did add a little celery since I had some. Delicious! Thanks for sharing.

Delicious! I lost my jalapeno somewhere between the store and home, so I didn't add any. This is a great chili recipe. I didn't miss the meat, or fat, at all!

What a great meal! This is easy, all in one pot and very nutritious. The only thing I used less of was the chilli powder but that was just a personal taste. All the family enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

I made this chili for a vegetarian dish for an open house during the holidays. It turned out very good and all enjoyed it, but I did make some changes to spice it up some. I added 3 more jalapeno peppers, more chili powder and more garlic. Also added chopped celery and an extra can of "hot" stewed tomatoes and a can of kidney beans. I like that the recipe can be easily added to, making it go further. I will be making it again, it's a very good basic recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Very good! I made very few changes due to what I had on hand. I didn't have italian stewed tomatoes so I just used regular. No green pepper but I added chopped celery like another reviewer suggested and I used a small can of diced green chilis in place of the jalapeño. My husband (a recent reluctant convert to vegetarianism) went on about a veg. chili we'd had at a party recently that he really liked so I thought I'd try this one. He liked this one even better but we both felt it was a little sweet. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Next time I'll cut the sugar in half, tone the chili powder down a little (it was a little warm for me), add a little more cumin, and serve with cornbread! Yumm!!

This was very good, however next time I will add more beans. Red/Kidney beans would be much better than the pinto beans. It was a little to soupy with just 2 cans of beans. I think corn would be a good addition as well..

This was so good. I used kidney and northern beans. The northern beans really made the chili very thick. I also added 1 cup of baby carrots that I minced. This added a great texture and a few more vitamins for my family. Plus they never knew they were eating carrots. Next time I will decrease the sugar because the carrots really added a natural sweetness. This one will definatly replace my old chili recipe.

This was so wonderful. I am trying to back away from meat and this was so satisfying, I didn't miss it at all. I used frozen yellow squash instead of zucchini and added 1/2 box of frozen corn. Thanks for the recipe!

Great vegetarian chili! I did not add sugar and cut the tomatoes in half. I was a little leery about adding zucchini, but it was a pleasant addition.

This chili was excellent! It wasn't too spicy at all and was delicious. Although, it WAS a little sweet, so I think next time I will cut the amount of sugar used in half. The only thing I did differently was add 1-2 cups of water because the resulting chili was really really thick and my family prefers it be a little more runny. I will definitely be making this one again.

I really changed the recipe quite a bit, but it was still very delish. Thanks :)

We have been looking for a good vegetarian chili for years - we didn't find a good one with this recipe we found a GREAT chili. The first time we made it we took it to a pot luck dinner. After lots of scoffing from the men about it being vegetarian they ALL went back for seconds!!
The first time we used a chipotle chili in a little adobe sauce and reduced the chili powder to two tbsp - this was an ideal temp for not so adventurous chili lovers. As I said above, it was a big hit with everyone. The next time we used jalapeno and again reduced the chili powder to 1 1/2 tbsp. It made a VERY flavorsome chili which is not heavy or greasy.

I won a chili cookoff at work with this recipe. My meat loving competitors were pretty ticked off. I love this chili.

I made a few changes as I had Roma tomatoes on hand; pureed w/ 2 whole carrots. I used drained limas as I can't tolerate most beans......very tasty! Thanks

This was so much better than traditional chili. It was like a hearty vegetable soup chili. I thought the pintos were great, but used twice as many black beans as called for. I also added a celery stick after reading the other reviews. Very, very good, thank you! I have been looking for a vegetarian chili recipe like this.

This is delicious. I did not have bell peppers so I used carrots and celery. It is as chunky and hearty as any meat chili and has twice the flavor b/c of the jap and spicy tomatoes. Great!
