Best Vegetarian Chili Recipes?

Question

I am seeking your best recipes for chili. I am not fond of the butternut squash or other sweet recipes. I will be trying out J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's The Best Vegetarian Bean Chili - http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/01/best-vegetarian-bean-chile-recipe.html

It's Spring Break and I am celebrating by getting my first ever root canal (the cost of which is more than an entire semester of community college, including books!). I scheduled it so I won't have to take any tests while I am not feeling my best. 

Anyway... I'll be making a pot of beans tomorrow and thought I'd solicit for chili recipes.

Thanks in advance.
Mary

This is my fav vegetarian chili. I've made it many times. I usually use less green peppers than the recipe calls for, maybe 1/2-3/4 cup.

Answer

not an exact answer to your question, but:
in general i find that the best recipes contain both pinto beans and black beans.

Answer

Here is a thread on the Home Cooking board with some great suggestions: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/885554

Answer

The best black bean chili. I use whatever dried chilies I have on hand and the Muir Glen fire roasted canned tomatoes. Using the pressure cooker, my black beans take about 15 minutes on low pressure. Also, it is worth cooking the onion/spice/tomato mix separately to get a more complex flavor.

Also just tried the latest vegetarian chili from Cook's Illustrated. It is good, but needs a little something and I haven't figured out what, yet.

Answer

The chili recipe in Jack Bishop's A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen is by far the best I've made. I found a link here; I think this blogger cites his recipe exactly: http://www.justveggingout.com/2009/10/high-protein-vegan-chili.html 

I don't bother with the beer since I never have it on hand, and I use some of the Trader Joe's Soyrizo in place of some of the tempeh (also TJ's). I also add more kidney beans than he calls for, because I like a higher bean-to-tempeh ratio. But all that is small stuff--it's a great recipe. Very satisfying.

Answer

This is now my favorite, and it makes a ton!! I love the smokiness flavor to it. http://leitesculinaria.com/77118/recipes-chipotle-vegetarian-chili.html

Answer

How did you adventure go? Even if you don't like sweet recipes, I found that my favourite chili recipe includes pumpkin puree with a mix of beans and TVP.

Answer

Does anyone have a recipe that is a no-bean chile, and that has umami flavors from seitan or miso paste (yes, I know that miso would contain soybeans).

Answer

A red onion fried in some oil, add a can of tomatoes, can of rinsed kidney beans and whatever spices interest you and a good squeeze of an entire lime into the mix, simple and fast. I serve mine on some rice.

Answer

My families middle name is "Chili", so we have tried many Chili Recipes. We love this vegetarian one the best! There are a few secret ingredients that make a difference. Hope you love it too.
