Can't-Believe-It's-Veggie Chili
Mushrooms and liquid aminos (soybean concentrate) lend meaty flavor. Top with blistered jalapeños.

I don't know why this chili recipe doesn't have more stars... It is amazing! I made it for my husband--an avid meat eater, and he did not even notice that it was meat-free! It is really flavorful, yet balanced. Subtly spicy, and really great texture! Don't forget to add the toppings to really make this bowl shine! I will be making this any more times!
I have been making veggie chili for over 30 years, and have gone through several favorite recipes, but this recipe is definitely now at the top! Great texture, great flavor, and a big hit with adults and kids (I didn't add any red pepper and I removed the seeds from the jalapeño to keep the heat down). Served it with sour cream and shredded cheddar, with cornbread on the side. This one goes in permanent rotation!
I made this for my teenage daughter to take to a Halloween party. She and the host eat veggie and her mom eats vegan. Both the vegitarians and non-vegitarians at the party loved it. There wasn't a drop left. The flavors are rich and warm and a great alternative to a meat chili.
Vegetarian Chili is an oxymoron. Without meat it's just bean soup.
I really enjoyed this chili minus the cheese and sour cream (vegan). I also omitted the oil and sauteed in water as I follow a whole food plant based no oil diet. My only critique is that it still needed salt after adding the liquid aminos. The beer gave it a delicious nuance. Perhaps some chipotle flavor would add a nice layer, maybe even a little lime juice and/or dash of maple syrup. Love the texture. Topped it with creamy avocado.
Terrible!!!!! I made this recipe exactly & it was so flat! With everything being low or no sodium, there was no flanor to this at all. I can't even remember everything I added to this recipe to make it taste like anything! Was there some ingredients omitted in the printing of this recipe??? Really thought I found a great veggie chili that my family would love---guess not, not without adding much, much more to it.
