Great taste and healthy, one of our staples. I put 2 cans of diced tomatoes - for me one is not enough. Enjoy!

Awesome recipe, I added a little Tabasco to bring it up a notch.

sellitman, ain’t buying it as chili! An okay, but not spectacular, bean casserole. If compared only to other vegetarian dishes, it would be a 5 star. For those liking this type dish, try “Five Bean Casserole” from this site, and omit the bacon if a strict vegan. Plan on a longer cooking time than 2 hrs. If making for first time, read some of the 5 star reviews as so many of them ‘tweak’ this recipe (got a chuckle reading some of these tweaks as it morphs into a new recipe). . . and the low star ratings seem not to tweak it. I agree with so many others that this is a good starting point for creating something else.

Awesome basic recipe as it is! It is very forgiving and can easily be tweaked to your liking. Instead of adding the dried herb ingredients I added the chilli mix recipes on this site. Even the carnivores in the family cleaned up their plates. Thanks for a sharing your delicious recipe!

Awesome... even if you're not a vegetarian. I was looking for a nutritious and quick meal for my family and have tried this several times. It is fantastic! My husband wanted me to add groundmeat to it to make it more traditional. I added ground soy and he was never the wiser. He loves it and my family asks for it all the time.

Outstanding!!! Thank you for sharing. Everyone who tries this chili asks me for the recipe :) I like to add 1/2 cup of brown sugar to add some sweetness and it is delicious.

Very very good. Great flavor. To find the Black Bean Soup, try the organic section of your store. I also added one can of black beans, just because I thought iti needed more beans. All in all delicious as is.

This is the recipe I used to "learn" how to make chili. Now I make it a little different, but I'll still give credit to this recipe for getting me started! I use 2 cans black beans & 1 can kidney beans (no garbanzo or baked beans or soup). Rinse your beans well, but keep juices in everything else. Usually 2 cans diced tomatoes (or diced fresh if I have on hand) instead of the 1 can. I add cumin, tapatio, and a small amount of apple cider vinegar. Slow cooker on low for about 5-6 hours and serve with cornbread!

This was my first time making veggie chili and it came out great! I used a slightly bigger size can of baked beans since that's what I had on hand, a can of crushed tomatoes, and no celery. It was very good, but a tad bit sweet so it can also be served as jazzed up baked beans in the summer and chili in fall/winter depending on the sweetness/spiciness. I added a few shakes of red pepper flakes to kick it up a bit. I also served this with vegan hush puppies which were also sweet, so next time I'll add a little more heat to the chili so they compliment each other. Definitely a staple and will make again!!
