What’s better than a big bowl of spicy chili on a cold autumn evening? My favourite way to eat this chili is with a jacket potato, vegan cheese and fresh coriander.

It is also delicious with a side of rice, salad or on it’s own with some tortilla chips! My friend also tells me it’s great with cornbread, which I am yet to try (must stop being so British).

This recipe is so easy and saves on washing up as it is a one pot dish. It is perfect for a weekday meal when you don’t want to spend ages getting dinner on the table. I’m certain all the family will love it including non vegans.

I have also used tinned kidney beans and black beans making this dish really quick to make. You can get this ready in half an hour, that’s all it takes!

The spicy tomato base is made from tinned chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, vegetable stock, smoked paprika, hot chilli powder and cumin. It is SO flavourful! 

And full of ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! Which makes this one pot vegan chili an easy and quick weeknight meal! 

Soya mince has come a long way and there are so many different brands and supermarkets doing their own versions. It’s a great source of protein, has great texture and will fool meat eaters too.

I use frozen soya mince for this recipe which I always have stocked in the freezer, it’s perfect for dishes like this or lasagne or spaghetti bolognese. Just check that it is vegan as some brands use egg.

Alternatively you could sub soya mince for extra beans if you don’t have any or don’t like it!

This chilli would also be great with some roasted sweet potato which I added to this black bean chipotle chilli!

I had to put the remaining chilli in the fridge as I keep going back for seconds. We licked our plates at the end. This is so delicious!! I am sharing this recipe with all my vegan and non vegan friends. I will definitely cook this again. I added a red pepper, a bit of celery and a shredded carrot for extra veg. So good! Yumm!!

Great recipe. I make without mince and add liquid smoke which gives it a ‘meaty’ quality. Thanks :)
