Easy Vegan Chili

One of the ultimate comfort foods is good old chili. And with the right spices and flavors, you will never miss the meat in this veggie version. It's spicy, warm, and a hearty way to end the day. And although I have experimented with many kinds of vegan chilies, this is still my favorite because of how easy it is to make.

When I think comfort food, I think PB & J, Mac and Cheese, and mashed potatoes. Foods that are full of flavor and fast and easy to make. This chili is just as delicious and easy, even if you don't have a crock pot. If you don't have a crock pot, I suggest sauteing your onions and garlic for 3-5 minutes before adding the rest of your ingredients so that you get more flavor from them.Then you only need to cook your chili for about an hour on the stove, covered on medium heat. If you own a crock pot, just throw all the ingredients in, go to work, and come home to the lovely smell of chili.
