Vegetarian Chili. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and season with bay leaves, cumin, oregano, and salt. Cook and stir until onion is tender, then mix in the celery, green bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, garlic, and green chile peppers.

Thanks to plenty of vegetables, this hearty vegetarian chili is a winner everyone, whether they regularly eat meat or not. The Basic Formula for the Best Vegetarian Chili I've made a lot of vegetarian chili recipes over the years, and have determined the best veggie chili is a simple combination of fresh and canned vegetables, dried spices, canned tomatoes, canned beans, and vegetable broth. In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients but the couscous, shredded cheese, cilantro and salt and pepper. In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Beans: A lot of vegetarian chili recipes are based around beans, and I wanted this recipe to be bean-optional for people who don't like or can't have beans. So if you want to skip the beans altogether, no problem! That being said, I like black beans in this vegetarian chili, but kidney beans, white beans, or pinto beans would all be great. This warming vegetarian chilli is a low-fat, healthy option that packs in the veggies and flavour. It's finding substitutes for what the meat brings to the chili.
