Vegetarian Chipotle Chili

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Vegetarian Chipotle ChiliThis past weekend, I was really craving a big batch of homemade chili for the colder weather we have finally been having. As I looked back in my archives to check if I had ever posted a vegetarian chili recipe here yet. I did actually find one from all the way back in 2011. It definitely could use some improving – both in photo and recipe quality! So, I made this uber delicious vegetarian chipotle chili version. It’s spicy and hearty and perfect for warming you up from the inside out.

Vegetarian Chipotle Chili In every bowl of this vegetarian chipotle chili you’ll find filling beans, red peppers, spicy chipotle, and chopped tomato. All of which add lots of fiber to help keep you feeling full for hours afterwards. To add more depth to the flavor, I added some dark beer to the early stage of cooking. I used a porter from Great Lakes for mine, but you could easily use a stout as well. We like things spicy, so if you aren’t a big fan of spice, I would halve the amount of chipotle or leave it out if you’d prefer. Otherwise, enjoy the heat! To serve, I like adding a dollop of sour cream, avocado, a spirt of fresh lime and some crumbled tortilla chips.

    This is to be the ONLY chili recipe to last in my house- and we are not vegetarian. It’s that good!

    For those who cannot use alcohol, is there something you would suggest we use instead? Veggie broth?

      You can just use an extra 3/4 of vegetable broth instead. Hope that helps!
