Comfort food at its best: Totally customizable vegan chilli

Who doesn’t love a hot bowl of Chili. Chili is one of the most loved comfort foods. It’s simply delicious for any occasion! This recipe is a great base for any chilis and super versatile. It also freezes well.
Simple ingredients can taste exceptional. Please keep in mind that even if you don’t have some of the ingredients on the list, don’t sweat! Just get a little creative and it will still turn out delicious. For example, you can cook your beans from dried, use a different variety of beans. Skip the carrots and add zucchini, diced tomatoes can be fresh, tomato paste can also be used as a substitute. Smoked paprika really brings out the savoury, smokey note. However, regular paprika or cayenne can be added for an extra spice!
Tip: Serve it with bread, sour cream, crackers, salad anything will do!
Hope this Vegan Chili brings you comfort and leaves you satisfied for hours and hours.
