Soak beans for 4 hours and rinse and drain. Sautee onion, carrot, grape tomatoes in a pan with olive oil for about 5 minutes add garlic at the end to soften but do not burn. Add all the ingredients except garnish into an extra large crock pot. Cook covered for 6 hours on high until beans are tender and chili thickens. Serve with your choice of garnish.


This recipe is very versatile and can be tweaked to make it extra spicy or even substitute vegetable broth to make it truly vegetarian.

Enjoy, Teri

  1. Frequently our local watering hole “Springwater” has a bagged vegetarian chili that is actually pretty good. Although loaded with sodium and all the bad stuff for us including soy protein I decided to make an Organic Vegetarian Chili for the week of Superbowl. Robert said he wanted meat in it and I made him try this without and he was more than pleasantly surprised.

    Enjoy, Teri
