Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 2 ears of corn, cut off the cob (about 1 cup)
- 4 medium-sized tomatoes, roughly chopped (or 2 15-oz. cans diced tomatoes)
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 16-oz. can low-sodium pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 16-oz. can low-sodium kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
For serving:
- Fresh basil
- Vegan sour cream (or plain non-dairy yogurt)
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic along with the salt, chili powder, and cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes.
- Add the corn, tomatoes, zucchini, pinto beans, kidney beans, water, and tomato paste to the pot and stir. Turn your stove to medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chili has thickened and reached your desired consistency. Taste and season with additional salt (I used another ½ teaspoon).
- Turn off the stove; squeeze the lime juice into the chili and stir. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh basil and vegan sour cream, if desired.
