Slow-Cooker Vegan Chili Tips
What else can you put in slow-cooker vegan chili?
Make your vegan chili more rich and satisfying by adding a can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained. Instead of frozen veggies, reach for fresh corn, cut off the cobs, in season. Roasted red or green Hatch chiles would be a wonderful spicy addition to this chili. For a crispy crunch, top with
homemade tortilla chips. Discover
vegan dinners even meat lovers will enjoy.
How do you store slow-cooker vegan chili?
After cooling, cover and refrigerate this chili for up to 4-5 days. Or you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Here’s everything you need to know about
freezing soup.
How can you thicken or thin slow-cooker vegan chili?
For a thicker chili, mash some of the beans before adding to the chili, or stir in canned or
homemade vegan refried beans. Want a thinner chili? Stir in more vegetable broth, low-sodium tomato or vegetable juice, or another can of undrained diced tomatoes (or fire-roasted tomatoes). If you omit the cornmeal from this recipe, your chili will naturally be a bit thinner.
