Four Bean Vegan Crockpot Chili Hello soup season! I have been so excited to bust out my crockpot for soup recipes. I was looking back through the blog archives and realized it had been ages since I last posted a chili recipe, so I developed this one a couple weeks ago. I wanted to create a vegan chili that was packed with a bunch of different beans and chock full of chopped veggies so that it was both filling and delicious. This four bean vegan crockpot chili really checks all the right boxes! Crockpot recipes are some of my favorite since I love coming home from a long day at work to a crockpot full of dinner that is ready to eat. Thanks to a bunch of canned goods, this chili comes together rather quickly.

Tips for Making this Four Bean Vegan Crockpot Chili

  • The great thing about this chili is that you only need to chop a few things and then the rest is is basically just opening cans and dumping everything in! I dump all my canned beans into a colander and give them a quick rinse before adding them to the crockpot.
  • If you need to limit your sodium intake, make sure to buy low sodium canned goods and broth for this recipe.
  • Chop all of your vegetables (onion, zucchini, bell pepper) into similar sized pieces so that they all cook evenly.
  • I used 2 tablespoons of freshly ground dried ancho chile pepper for this recipe, which has a milder spice level and a smoky flavor. Chile powder is different than chili powder. Chile with an “e” is made with just the pepper while chili powder with an “i” is actually a blend of ground pepper and other spices. Feel free to skip or adjust based on your preference (ours was mild so I could use a couple tablespoons!) or you can also add 1 tablespoon sauce from canned chipotle peppers.

In a small household of 2, this chili goes a long way! I will make this up early in the week and then pack the leftovers for lunch the rest of the week. This chili can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. If you want to store it longer, portion it into smaller containers and freeze it. It does still taste great after being frozen!

    Made this in slow cooker with only three types of beans. Recipe still made a ton! Delicious, especially at the start of the cold weather season.

    I’ve made this in a slow cooker and it was great . Could this recipe be made in a Instant Pot?

      Hi! So glad you liked the chili. 🙂 I don’t have an Instant Pot so I can’t say if this recipe will work or not since I have never cooked with one. However, if you try it in the Instant Pot – let me know and I can add a note to the recipe!
