Vegetarian Chili

[JustForBrieLarson]

I am gonna start doing this.I will abandon carnivorism for vegetarianism because it is best.

[PsySupplies]

Amazing recipe! I made today, my girlfriend and I loved it! Subscribed to your channel in an instant!

[ChefTips]

@PsySupplies

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting and subbing!

[Slappingplastic]

This sounds great but I can't have beans due to them being broken down into uric acid. Seems like I'm just doomed to never have chilli :(

[ChefTips]

@Slappingplastic Sorry to hear that.

[Slappingplastic]

@ChefTips That's okay! I can have lentils - will mix a bit of lentils with rice. Where there's a will, there's a way! :P

[Dejan187]

good recipe, i used a jar of plain pasta sauce instead of canned tomatoes and fresh beans (to avoid BPA).

[macntoes2]

Can you post the written recipe so I can make this when I don't have YouTube in the kitchen?



[ChefTips]

@macntoes2 The written recipe is on my website, and in my ChefTips app. Enjoy!

[WolfieSpirit]

Did anyone else notice at 3:07 it sounds like he says "Thanks for tubin' in"? lol

[ChefTips]

@WolfieSpirit I did say that! It's my signature line. :)

[doodahbagel]

@WolfieSpirit He said "Thanks for tubin' in" all right but what did you think he was saying?

[HojaDeOlivo]

I was really surprised how tasty this recipe came out! Don't know if it makes sense if i said it is a hearty yet light recipe! Very nice.

Started with dried beans, used all fresh tomatoes, added soy "meat" (first time trying it, and i am almost a convert!), and a little sugar, cooked a little longer to get the flavors from the tomato, and WOW!

[ChefTips]

@HojaDeOlivo Sounds great! Thanks so much for commenting back about the recipe! Cheers, Jason

[ChefTips]

@blaminican1 Thank you!

[tuuplis]

[ChefTips]

@tuuplis It's in there! Sorry this is one of our first videos. Quality has improved since then!

[Sternschnuppen85]

Thank you!

[sonusonu20]

it looks yummy.....hummmmmmmmm



[ChefTips]

@sonusonu20

Thanks!

[shoted]

Great video. Delicious

[ChefTips]

@shoted

Thanks!

[banditgrl]

I can not cook for anything... as a lazy college student I am totally going to try this! I just know this video is going to be helpful, I was salivating just watching it lol Can't wait to make this. I think I'll add potatoes though.... Mmmm! Thanks for this!

[ChefTips]

@banditgrl You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it! Jason

[genevieveturner1]

just made a version of this in the slow cooker yummmmmm

[ChefTips]

@genevieveturner1 Thanks! Glad you liked it! Jason

[kageroninja]

what i dont like about vegetarian food is that its almost always about soy! i would use red potatoes instead of the soy substitute. potatoes can give you the fullness that comes with eating meat.

[jojojshmo]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[SuperMegaPeanut]

My left ear liked this video

[ChefTips]

@SuperMegaPeanut

Yeah, it was one of our first videos and it's pretty bad...

[dillynrs]

I am making this again tonight! My family loved it but my boyfriend did not. He said it needed salt and said zucchini and squash were just not a good fit. I understand the salt part even though I was fine without it, but my veggies were ripe and were great in the chili! Whatever, he's not invited tonight :-)

[ChefTips]

@dillynrs Yes, since this is a vegetarian chili some purists will not go for the zucchini and squash. But it's very healthy, and our family loves it! Glad you enjoy it! :)

[bittle511]

When did you add the yellow and green pepper?

[ChefTips]

@bittle511 You can add it in with the onions.

[bittle511]

Tried this wonderful recipe and will make again tomorrow. Thinking of adding black beans tomorrow.

[christellaiffy]

cool! but do i have to use onion? cuz im alergic, is there any replacment?

[ChefTips]

@christellaiffy You can leave it out, but it won't taste the same. :)

[paul4444]

@christellaiffy

You could maybe try using some Hing (also known as Asafoetida) . It's used in curry .

[dillynrs]

If I wanted to add a meat flavored soy product, how much of it should I use and when should I add it? Any yummy brand recommendations? Thanks for the video!!!

[ChefTips]

@dillynrs I would add it toward the end. Melissa's brand is good.

[jamesdt02]

hey jason. i just made this chili for the first time tonight and it was amazing!! so much leftovers! i'll me eating this for lunch all week! thanks, James

[ChefTips]

@jamesdt02 Thanks! Glad you like it!

[itsjeremyman]

can i use red onion?

[ChefTips]

@itsjeremyman Sure!

[echle2]

thanks for tuBin in?

[ChefTips]

@echle2 Yep!

[ChefTips]

@echle2 Yep!

[Akshayphadke]

How much people I can serve with this?

[ChefTips]

@Akshayphadke I would say about 6 people.

[barkingtree88]

I've made this meal multiple times now, and it's indeed a keeper! thanks!!

[ChefTips]

@barkingtree88

Cool! Thanks for commenting!

[Doderhultarn89]

i cant eat tomatoes:(

[MikeSkiera]

That looks awesome.

[ChefTips]

@MikeSkiera Thank you!

[salinferno]

I tried this recipe last night, had a bowl, and put the remainder away. My roomates snaked it all on me. I'm bummed. It was fantastic and foolproof.

[ChefTips]

@salinferno

I think your roomates owe you a new batch! =]

[Amilitantatheist]

Looks good, but it needs some hot peppers!

[ChefTips]

@Amilitantatheist

I agree! Feel free to add any hot peppers you like!

[lmstar35]

Oh this looks like a must try:] thanks.

[eyelashalot]

can't wait to try this been looking for a good vegetarian chilli recipe thankx

[ChefTips]

@eyelashalot Hope you enjoy it!

[dipu94321]

zucchini and squash alternatives.we dont get that in india.and can i use fresh instead of dried basil?.i recently turned vegetarian and want to have good veg food.

[ChefTips]

@dipu94321 You can certainly use fresh basil. Enjoy!

[popomaniac1]

yay vegetarian food wooooo

now enjoy your veggies while i eat me a whole cow

[fauxzilla]

@popomaniac1 even the testicles =/

[mlfbthatsme]

he only says it's the best recipe- BECAUSE HE HASN'T TRIED MINE!! lol..good recipe though, but i've had 20 years practice perfecting my veggie chili recipe, which is now even my 3 year old's favorite!! Instead of parsley try cilantro, and add corn(making a complete protein with the beans). We serve our on a bed of Fritos with sour cream and cheese, topped with more cilantro and a squeeze of lime

[ChefTips]

@mlfbthatsme That sounds incredible. Will you share your recipe? :)

[MartyredxMaiden]

This is great, I definitely want to try this, thank you for posting this video!

[ChefTips]

@MartyredxMaiden Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.

[9892767329]

yes protein is more highly to die then vitamin for instant lets take egg we should not cook egg for a long time cause it will get a firm texture and will loose it's protein the whiter the egg remain after boiling it's high in protein which stay with cooking with fish and veg.

[9892767329]

m8 the recipe is wrong as u r putting the vegetables 1st which is worng and after u r cooking them for an hour bro u killed all the protein and vitamin of the veg. all ready.

u need more practice but keep smiling

[ChefTips]

@9892767329

Hi. Thanks for the comment. This was one of our first videos.

I think there is a lot to be said when it comes to cooking vegetables and them losing nutrients. Does protein really die off after cooking? I always thought that protein, when cooked, changes texture. BTW, eating raw foods is becoming a trend right now.  Cheers!

[gracethatjustifies]

Thumbs up if you really like meat!

I think bovines are tayaesty!!!

[ChefTips]

@gracethatjustifies

Save a cow!  Eat a vegan!

[kgbronx12]

Can I leave out the Gabonzo beans? Uggghhh!

[ChefTips]

@kgbronx12

Ha ha! Sure you can!

[UsfAlexisMarie]

This is by far the best recipe for Vegetarian chili I have found & I have been looking for quite a while now ! :) 

[64CSAR]

I dont have any garbonzo beans but i do have white beans will that work?

[ChefTips]

@64CSAR

That would work! =]

[fida80]

This is exactly like sabzi from india

[ChefTips]

@fida80 Interesting. I'll have to check it out next time I'm at an Indian restaurant.

[yogalyla]

this looks absolutely amazing, I can't wait to try it!

[leftyla]

Hi Chef! If you're going to include soy product, at what stage would you add it in? I think I'm gonna try this recipe!

[ChefTips]

@leftyla

Hello. Are you wanting to add some seasoned soy product or plain tofu?

[leftyla]

@ChefTips I want to add seasoned soy product like Morning Star ground meatless. Will this work?

[ChefTips]

@leftyla

There is a great seasoned soy product that we like called Soyrizo. It would work good in this. I would stir in a soy product right after the veggies are cooked. Hope this helps!

[america85353]

@ChefTips you should use soy chirizo but from REYNALDO'S it is so much better than soy rizo

[ChefTips]

@america85353 I'll check it out. Thanks!

[lucasboden]

i like your vid and recipe, but speaking with background music is distracting

[ChefTips]

@lucasboden

Yeah, this was one of our first videos. Sorry for the poor editing.

[njloca]

yumm! thanks for sharing your recipe.

[Owljornan]

That looks exactly like my kitchen! I wonder if he's my neighbor.. I wish, I would come over everday for dinner =P

[funkelflitz]

i allways add sellerie (sry im too lazy to google selleriestangen) to my chili, but i taste them in the end and like it.

[ChefTips]

@funkelflitz Guess that's German for celery. I just Googled it. Thanks for your suggestion!

[HopesCharm]

Yum.

o_O;

Can you get a job as a test-taster anywhere? I know that job must exist somewhere in the world. It could be my living.

[ChefTips]

@HopesCharm Ha! Yes, those jobs do exist, mostly with restaurant chains testing new dishes, items, etc.

[HopesCharm]

@ChefTips Do you need a degree for it? I'm still in grade school. ;-;

[PrincessAlmika]

yum! cant wait to try!

[ChefTips]

@PrincessAlmika

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for commenting.

[MrJeffisawesome]

I wrote a speech on vegetarianism... had steak the next day...

[ChefTips]

@MrJeffisawesome

Oh the humanity! Lol!

[Quoranation]

I wonder if there is a chili recipe containing okra.

[ChefTips]

@Quoranation Yes! Actually Chef Curtis Aikens puts some in his vegetarian chili. You can certainly add anything you like.

[kukycuen]

jajaja "gringo bandito" thanks for the video

[ChefTips]

@kukycuen You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed the recipe.

[Squeglee]

This was so damn tasty

[ChefTips]

@Squeglee Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[MrJeffisawesome]

@Squeglee i know!

[ChefTips]

@z34gtp9395

Sorry, but I haven't plugged in the numbers for this one yet.

[mymumthinksimkool]

this can also be vegan by using soy based cheeses and sourcream

[XianBlackman]

basil and oregano?they seem too italian orientated herbs for a mexi style chilli reckon this would taste heaps better as the spice blend being chilli cumin tumeric and paprika maybe and with fresh coriander with/or instead of parsley.

[liliflor]

everything was good except the sour cream and the cheese... it was good enough without it! I'm making this recipe tonight!!

[ChefTips]

@liliflor Great!

[PlatypusGuitar]

im wondering: why zucchini? does it add protein or is it just for color and flavor? I wanna know if I can skip it because my bf and I dont really like them.

[ChefTips]

@PlatypusGuitar

Sure, you can leave out the zucchini if you want.

[WanderingGnome]

Did u say thanks for tubin' in? ha ha... I am mostly vegan but do not care for garbanzo beans.

I like to add frozen corn toward the end of making my chili. Cornbread, biscuits or garlic bread and some fresh salsa are good accompaniments.

[ChefTips]

@WanderingGnome

Haha! Yes, I say *tubin-in*

Corn would be a great addition to this. Thanks for your comment!

[metamorabirds98]

u no what i love, i love some good old deer meat in mine

[metamorabirds98]

wow its not chili without the meat what dumbasses

[TechyGoneWild]

you can snack on my sausage if that will satisfy your craving for meat. Trust me, it will fill your belly up, there's even enough for your mom if you want to have her over for dinner.

[eiobeautiful]

I am going to be a vegetarian for health reason. Thank you for the video. I will make this.***

[Jakbob123]

Great recipe! I'm gonna try this. Although, he smiles too much in the video LOL! :

[ChefTips]

@Jakbob123

:) :) :)

[metamorabirds98]

ur gay too much

[Jibjub80]

This sounds like a nice veggie chili recipe. I usually make mine with red kidney beans, pink beans, white beans, corn, tomatoes, and beer. I will have to try your recipe too sometime though. It looks interesting. :)

[Jibjub80]

Dude, you never told us when to add the bell peppers.  I'm assuming you put those in with the rest of the veggies, such as the zucchinis?

[ChefTips]

@Jibjub80

Sorry.

Yes I add them with the rest of the veggies.

This was one of our first videos as you can probably tell...

J-

[magicaldanse]

mmmmmmmmmmm so making this tonight

[ChefTips]

Hope you enjoyed it! Jason

[AbstractMan23]

looks nice. i like to add veggie soya mince in mine.

[ChefTips]

Sounds good!

[bnannaluvr7]

thanx this looks delicious!! ima make it this weekend and add it on french fries with some melted cheese :)

[ChefTips]

Chili cheese fries rule! Tommy's in LA makes the best chili cheese fries. Not vegetarian however!

[lampposteffect]

this video isn't laid out well. it's confusing in parts. good recipe though once you finally get it from watching it two or three times

[ChefTips]

@lampposteffect

Yeah, it was one of our first videos. Our editing has gotten a lot better since those days. Glad you like the recipe!

Cheers

[amine9876]

lmao i agree but u gotta admit that that chili was awesome.

[rbdesign11]

How long do you cook the veggies before adding the crushed tomatoes?

[ChefTips]

@rbdesign11

Hi.  Just a few minutes.

[Quoranation]

I heard it's better to buy dried beans than canned beans. Canned beans have too much salt in them. Of course you have to soak dried beans a day or two in advance for chili as well.

[comfortablesofa]

after seeing a whole series of your videos, i finally tried this recipe out and it was superb! But I really love yellow squash move than the zucchini so I made my second round of the chilli with 2 squashes and added some extra tomato sauce to made it more liquidous. Delicious! Thank you!

[ChefTips]

Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Your additions sound wonderful!

[darkdudironaji]

vegetarian chilli...you mean beans?

[asherephreim]

thanks for this recipe

[ChefTips]

You're so welcome. Hope you enjoy it!

[jennarentz]

that looks sooooo good! im making it tomorrow (minus the cheese,oil, and sour cream)

thank so much for uploading!

[PescaMaryan]

yum!

[healthyvegan]

Love your chopping skills. I really need to get on that. But what's with the canned beans? I know, I know, I guess if you're trying to help people learn to cook, you need to keep things simple, eh? I do the same thing, but I make sure to tell people to get canned beans that were NOT cooked in salt. The protein isn't broken down properly when beans are cooked in salt and it makes it more difficult for your system to digest.

[ChefTips]

Really?

I have been digesting canned salted beans just fine for many years.

[healthyvegan]

Hi Jason,

Yes, the salt interferes with the cooking process. Of course it's more difficult to digest for some than others, just like anything. But as you know with any bean or leguminous pea, you want to salt at the end of cooking, not the beginning, even if just to make the beans optimally tender and delicious. A lesser known fact is that your body will better be able to utilize the protein when the bean is cooked properly. Beans cooked with a piece of seaweed are even better.

[ChefTips]

@healthyvegan

Thanks for the info!

[boots265]

thanks it was great !

[toxicKt]

you're hot :D love this recipe

[ChefTips]

@toxicKt

Thanks!

[MikeLockard]

Looks amazing... I'll skip out on the dairy products at the end but that chili looks so good! Great video!

[ChefTips]

@MikeLockard

Thanks. No problem on skipping on the dairy.  It will still taste great!

[Jibjub80]

I think I would like it with the chick peas, but NOT the green and yellow squash. Once, I was invited to a dinner, where the person made us vegetarian chili with CASHEWS in it, and that recipe was tasty. However, I did not know what else she put in, so I cannot duplicate that one :(

[s3a24]

I've never thought of adding the chick peas.. gonna give this one a try

[ChefTips]

Hope you like it!

[Pish1989]

Terrific; we're trying this tonight! Big +1 from this household of English veggies!

[ChefTips]

How did you enjoy the recipe?

[vegus44]

I tried this recipe last night with a little alterations, instead I used half the chili powder and added corn along with Emeri's Seasonings It WAS DELICIOUS

[ChefTips]

Terrific! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[Majortom71]

I am not getting any speech audio but I can hear the background music? anyone else experiencing this?

[ChefTips]

I'm guessing one of your speakers is out. This was one of our older videos recorded in mono.

[StroutsInk]

WOO HOO! Thank you for posting videos for vegetarians. I love it.

[ChefTips]

Thanks! Hope you like the recipe!

[TechyGoneWild]

ok, I tried it out and it was great. You never said in the video when to add the bell peppers, so I just added them at the same time I added the squash. It was great eats!

[ChefTips]

Super!

[TechyGoneWild]

cut out the sour cream and cheese to make it more healthy... but it sounds good!

[ChefTips]

@TechyGoneWild

You're right, but I can't do it!  Gotta have both! =]

[Jibjub80]

To TechyGoneWild,

I usually add some cheddar to vegetarian chili, but not to beef chili.

[ChipNick87]

I think without the meat, the chili is more of just a stew... it's not bad, though.

[nevikthenomad]

This sounds great! One of my favorite ingredients in vegetarian chili is chunks of fresh mushrooms. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

[dhrashti]

plz post some more vegetarian recipe!

[SeeBillyRun]

Hey Chef, I made your chili a while back and my sister, brother-in-law, and dad really liked it. Besides the two tbsp of chili powder I diced up a bunch of jalapeno peppers & threw those in there as well. Unfortunately though I made it too hot & after a couple of spoonfuls couldn't eat it anymore... lol.

I'm making it tonight, minus the jalapenos... haha, I was thinking of cutting back to 1 1/2 tbsp of chili powder & adding some chipotle sauce... do you think that would taste good?

[ChefTips]

Sounds good to me! Let me know how it turns out.

[SeeBillyRun]

Made the chili last night & added 1/3 - 1/4 cup of balsamic chipotle sauce... AND... it turned out great!!!

When you take a spoonful it initially starts of a lil' sweet, but then the heat kicks in :) & my nose starts to run. Oh, added bonus it smells great ;) Thanks again for sharing your recipes and happy holidays!

That sounds terrifi
