Insanely Easy Vegetarian Chili

Recipe #203964 | 55 min | 25 min prep | SERVES 8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: MarlaM

I was browsing the All Recipes website for low fat recipes and found this. It was posted by by Tianne and she says you can throw anything that you have in your fridge into this chili. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds really good.

    Wonderful chili, did not miss the meat at all! I didnt peel the carrots and rough chopped them, only used about 1/2 cup green pepper as DH doesnt care for peppers, used petite diced tomatoes, and I couldnt find my basil so I added lemon pepper. This recipe makes a nice pot full and there is enough left for lunch and another dinner for the two of us. After eating dinner I added some quick cooking barley to the rest, so good! A very tasty and versatile recipe....thank you MarlaM.

    Very tasty. My DH wasn't too sure at first as it doesn't have any meat but after the first bowl and he was starting on the second, he admitted it was good! I did add a can of black beans to the recipe here and served with shredded cheese and light sour cream on the side (I like a little sour cream atop my chili.) I did drain and rinse my canned vegetables to reduce the sodium and then as another reviewer suggested added a little chicken broth (I know, not vegetarian)to make up for the liquid drained from the cans. I will be moving this to my Tried and True file. A definite repeater. Thanks for posting.

    This non-traditional Chili passed inspection by this family of chili fans. Everyone really enjoyed the robust flavors of each vegetable, even the mushrooms! I rinsed all canned ingredients to lower the sodium levels and then added 1/2 cup of chicken stock to make up the lost liquid. Also added one can of black beans. Fabulous
