Ingredients
Meatless Chili with Lentils
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 5 cloves garlic
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
- 15.5 ounces black beans (15.5 oz usually = 1 can)
- 15 ounces white kennel corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 cup lentils (uncooked)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
Optional Toppings
- 1 raw scallion
- 1 handful cilantro
- ½ avocado
- 2 slices jalapeno
Instructions
- Dice onions and cook in a large pot or Dutch oven with a lid in olive oil for about 5 minutes, just to release some of their juices.
- Add the vegetable broth, garlic, crushed tomatoes, black beans, corn, lentils, and chili seasoning. Mix well, cover, and simmer on low for about two hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve warm with toppings of choice.
Pro Tips
- Try making your own seasoning. I even have a go-to chili and taco seasoning recipe for you. It's simple and let's face it—nothing is better than fresh and homemade!
- You can leave it for more than two hours to simmer, just make sure you are stirring so it doesn't stick to the bottom. The longer the flavors have to meld together the better.
- However, you may need to add more veggie broth if the chili starts to get dry. Just check it and stir it every 30-45 minutes or so.
