Low-Fat Vegetarian White Bean Chili Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

If you like homemade vegetarian chili recipes, try this vegetarian white bean chili recipeit's completely meat-free, cholesterol-free and much lower in fat than the usual white bean chili recipes, which often include chicken and turkey. Instead, this vegetarian white bean chili gets its flavor from plenty of onion, garlic, celery, cumin, cayenne pepper, oregano and canned green chili peppers, as well as some chili powder, of course, and is made with white beans and corn kernels, all topped off with some deliciously melty cheese, if you're not eating vegan. Serve up your homemade white bean chili with some garlic bread and a simple side green salad and you've got yourself a quick, healthy, and high-protein meal that the whole family can enjoy. All of the ingredients in this recipe are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free, but you'll need to double-check the vegetable broth that you're using, as many brands do contain gluten. Use a gluten-free vegetable broth (or even just swap it out for plain water), if you need this recipe to be completely gluten-free. Note that this recipe makes a really big batch, so plan on having plenty of leftovers. Chili freezes well, and there's plenty of creative ways to use up your leftover chili.
