Vegan Chunky Chili image

If you are entertaining mixed palates, this meal will satisfy all tastes. A from-scratch chili that uses many different vegetables as well as beans, lentils and tofu to provide that 'full' feeling that chili with meat offers. Add fresh parsley and basil to taste, if desired. I prefer to let the chili sit overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

This chili is a great way to warm up on a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

This chili is a great base recipe. I like to add my own personal touches, such as diced bell peppers, corn, or avocado.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chili turned out really mushy. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chili turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much vegetable broth.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This chili is a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers.

I love that this chili is made with black beans. I find that black beans have a more robust flavor than other beans.
