Vegetarian Beanless Chili image

like the taste of chili but hate beans? me too! you could use real ground beef if you wanted (equivalent is 1lbs before cooking) and throw in a can of beans i suppose but i like it like this. lots of flavor, tons of healthy veggies and protein. really low fat unless you load it with sour cream and cheese. freezes really well and you can make it really fast (but not as healthy) with instant rice. feel free to throw in whatever veggies you have left over. tonight i'm adding celery, green pepper, and mushrooms! nom nom nom

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

16 ounces crushed tomatoes (big can)
2 medium carrots
1 medium zucchini
1 small onion
500 g vegetarian ground beef
1/2 cup brown rice
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
salt
1 large garlic clove
water

Steps:

  • Chop the veggies into 1/2 inch pieces, toss directly into a large soup pot.
  • Mince the garlic, add and cook them in a little olive oil till the onions are clear and the carrots are starting to get a bit soft. (You should be able to cut a carrot in half with the wooden spoon but not really easily).
  • If using any other veggies add them so they're also about half cooked at the same time.
  • Add canned tomatoes and use the can to measure and add an equal amount of water; stir.
  • Crumble the veggie ground beef in, add spices and stir. At this time you can taste and adjust seasonings. The thickness should be about what you want as a finished product.
  • Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Now add the rice and the amount of water it will absorb (check the package, they vary) and simmer until rice and veggies are all soft and flavors combined.
  • Serve topped with sour cream, and grated cheddar, and bread or a simple salad.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always add whatever I have on hand, like zucchini, carrots, or bell peppers.

This chili is my go-to comfort food. It's so easy to make and it always hits the spot. I love serving it with a side of cornbread or rice.

This chili was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I'll stick to my old chili recipe.

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I love this chili! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add a can of corn and a can of black beans to mine.

This chili is so good! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. It's hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a cold winter day.

This chili was a disappointment. It was bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This vegetarian chili was a lifesaver. I was short on time and ingredients, but I still wanted to make a healthy and delicious meal. This recipe was perfect.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this chili was. I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm always looking for new and healthy recipes. This one definitely fits the bill.

Delicious and easy to make! I used a variety of beans and vegetables, and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

This vegetarian chili was a hit! I loved the smoky flavor and the heartiness of the beans. I served it with cornbread and everyone loved it.
