Warm up The Winter Nights with This Vegan Chili Recipe

A great vegan chili recipe contains lentils, not beans. They have the richness and meaty flavor that we associate chili with, and although this recipe doesn’t call for a slow cooker, you absolutely can throw it all in, set it on low for 8 hours and have an amazing dinner ready as you walk in the door from work.

Ingredients:

• 8.5 cups of home-made or vegan based veggie broth
