What is Vegetable Bean Chili?
Vegetable bean chili is a hearty, meat-free chili made with beans, vegetables and usually a spiced tomato base. It draws on chili traditions associated with the American Southwest and Tex-Mex cooking, though the exact vegetables and seasoning vary from recipe to recipe.
Thick, warming and often gently spicy, it works well as a one-pot meal, with rice, cornbread or crusty bread. Beans and vegetables make it a source of fibre and plant protein, while its fat content is relatively low. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of oil and add extra vegetables; serve hot sauce on the side so everyone can adjust the heat.
