Let’s get cooking! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the diced onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Add Spices

Add the chili powder, cumin, and paprika to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3: Add Remaining Ingredients

Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans, drained and rinsed black beans, undrained diced tomatoes, corn kernels, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 4: Simmer

Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the more the flavors will develop.

Step 5: Season and Serve

Season the chili with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot, optionally with your favorite toppings such as:

• Cooked rice or cornbread
• Chopped cilantro or green onions
• Vegan sour cream or shredded vegan cheese
• Avocado slices or guacamole
• Lime wedges
• Tortilla chips

Enjoy this hearty, flavorful, and satisfying Vegan Chili!
