This Vegetarian Chili is savory, smoky, and so packed with hearty ingredients that you won’t miss the meat! Mushrooms, bell peppers, black beans, chili beans, corn, and onions simmer together in a rich, well-seasoned tomato base.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, and garlic and cook constantly for 5 minutes.
Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly for 2 more minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes, chili beans, black beans, corn, jalapeno juice, and hot sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for one hour, covered.
Serve with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions if desired.
