I like to make this chili often and topped with some sliced avocado, parsley or cilantro. It's the perfect veggie version of a white chicken chili. I typically use the Beyond Meat, Beefy Crumble for this, but any of those fake crumbly meats will do just fine. If you're interested in making this a little healthier, use low sodium vegetable stock, omit the extra salt, and cut the olive in in half.
