    A bowl of easy vegan chilli with wraps beside the bowl and a spoon for serving.

    Folks. I think you're going to love this easy vegan chilli.

    You'll find this easy vegan chilli recipe healthy, filling and perfect for colder days. It's packed with lots of fibre and goodness, all which come from the delicious selection of beans and vegetables used.

    It's great to have it just on its own or maybe within some wholemeal wraps.

    The quantities in the recipe can easily be doubled up to make more. So it's an ideal party sharing chilli dish and it's easily frozen too.

    Whatever your preference it takes less than one hour to make and it's low cost as well, it's a winner all round!

    I've got those folks at Cirio to thank for sending me free samples of their chopped tomatoes and tomato passata which I used in the ingredients for this tasty recipe. I was not paid to make this recipe.

    I also used canned beans to make this recipe. Dried beans need to be soaked overnight and I wanted this meatfree chilli to be a quick and easy weeknight meal.

    This easy vegan chilli recipe will make sure you're eating plenty of vegetables.

    I mean we're always being told to eat lots more vegetables aren't we?

    And now it's no longer a minimum of 5 portions we should eat daily, it's 10 portions!!

    Well I don't know about you, but I always try to make sure I'm getting as many vegetables as I can on a daily basis.

    But 10 portions? What next? Do you think they'll add another meal to the day just to make sure we hit 10 portions? Ha ha!

    But seriously, I think it's just best to try and eat as many veggies as possible and not have to "hit" a specific daily goal. It's like they're making food into a competition isn't it?

    At least with eating this easy vegan chilli we are trying aren't we?

    It's nearly there with just over half of that veggie requirement and you could easily add some more if you wanted to, although it's pretty filling as it is!

    Easy Vegan Chilli Recipe

    Although this vegan chilli is pretty filling on it's own you could serve it with some Basmati rice.

    It's also delicious garnished with some chopped green chillies or jalapeno peppers, and a dollop of sour cream or crème frâiche!

      If we do add another meal to the day, I vote for second breakfast, like the hobbits. I love the idea of having it with the wraps. I think I might add a little rice to it and just eat it like a burrito!

      You are going to be all into salads once you get over to the US, or at least the warmer parts. And then Cali, where you aren't going to be warm (San Fran can be dreary at times, but on a clear day, it is amazing), but you will surround by AMAZING produce!
      I need to make another batch of chili!

        Yes you must east all your veggies Rebecca. 😀

        Like you I can't let anything go to waste either. Anything at all that's left over is made into soup or casseroled and stuck in the freezer! Ha ha!

        This chilli warms you up, right from the inside out so it's perfect for a cold day.

        Cold here too, so I think this'll be on the menu tonight!

      I so do love my veggies and this is one tasty way to get my fill of them, Neil - thanks so much for sharing this! By the way, we were having quite a few warmer days here and just when I started to crave salad - the temps dropped this weekend - so I'm hoping that isn't the same for y'all! Hoping y'all enjoy y'alls vacay!

        Ha ha, isn't that just the way Shashi? One minute you're making casserole and wintry meals whilst it's turning summer outside.....

        ....the next minute you start on a summery salad recipe and it starts to snow! 🙂

        Thanks for your holiday wishes just a few days to go now! 😀
