Instructions

  • In a large pot, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell peppers, sprinkle with salt and cook for 3 minutes. Next add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and cook for 3 more minutes.
  • To the pot, add the mushrooms and garlic cloves. Cook for 5 minutes, or until mushrooms start to release their liquid. Pour in the tomatoes with their juices, the drained and rinsed beans and lentils, and vegetable broth. Bring to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Serve chili warm with desired toppings and enjoy!

Notes

*Sub 1 cup dry lentils, if desired. Add 2-3 cups broth and cook for 10-15 minutes longer. Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne if you like a little spice.
