Thick & Hearty Vegan Chili
Ingredients
- 1 Small Onion Diced
- 4 Medium Russet Potatoes Peeled & Chopped
- 3 15 oz Cans Diced Tomato
- 4 Stalks Celery Chopped
- 2 Tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 Tbsp Vegan Boullion
- 4 Cups Water + Additional (if needed)
- 3 15 oz Cans of Beans Rinsed & Drained (kidney, pinto, black, use what you like or have on hand)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 Cup Red Lentils
- 1-2 Tsp Cayenne
- 1 Cup Quinoa
Instructions
- Prep and chop all your vegetables, rinse your beans, and add into crockpot. Add in all spices and water and stir well.
- Set timer to 8-10 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. If you are home, check this during the day to make sure it has enough water. If you add in the red lentils and quinoa you may need to add another cup of water halfway through the day and stir again.
- If you skip the lentils and quinoa you should be fine. Serve over brown rice or by itself. This will freeze well or last in the fridge up to one week. Enjoy!

Hey Derek and Hannah, I have the same rice cooker that you all use- will you please tell me the exact buttons to push to make this chili? Thanks in advance, I’m planning on making it this week-
How would we cook this if we wanted to use an Instant Pot (NOT using the slow cooker feature? I know I’d probably use the Manual button, but how long would I cook this?
