This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of odds and ends in my fridge, and this chili is a great way to use them up.

This chili was delicious! I made it for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it, even the meat-eaters.

I'm not usually a fan of vegetarian chili, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so flavorful and satisfying, and I loved the combination of vegetables. I'll definitely be making this again.

This vegetarian chili was a total hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the texture was perfect. I especially loved the addition of the sweet potatoes and corn, which gave the chili a nice sweetness and crunch.
