How to Make the Best Vegetarian Chili<\/h2>\n

While the ingredients in this chili recipe are super basic, the flavor is anything but.<\/strong> Simple ingredients can taste exceptional when they start off with aromatics like onion, carrot, celery and garlic.<\/p>\n

I added traditional chili spices and some smoked paprika for an extra-savory, smoky note. Canned beans and tomatoes contribute delicious plant-based protein and heft.<\/p>\n

Blending a small portion of the chili makes it look and taste like a chili that has been cooking all morning long, but it only needs about 30 minutes of simmering. That’s a little trick that I learned from my lentil soup<\/a>, which is another cozy option for cold days.<\/p>\n

Finishing off the chili with a little splash of sherry vinegar (or lime juice) and fresh cilantro makes it taste vibrant and fresh. The vinegar offers a little acidity and complexity, and it makes all the difference.<\/p>\n
