Note
  • For a smokier flavor, you can add a touch of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings with avocado slices, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, simply add more vegetable broth until you reach your desired thickness.
  • This chili tastes even better the next day as the flavors have had time to meld together.
  • To make it spicier, include a diced jalapeño or sprinkle in some red pepper flakes during cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
