For a smoky flavor, try using smoked paprika in addition to the chili powder. If you don't have fresh corn, frozen corn works perfectly well. Just thaw it before adding it to the chili. To make this chili even heartier, add diced sweet potatoes or butternut squash along with the other vegetables. This chili freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and freezing for up to 3 months.

Sep 9, 2024The puréed bean trick is genius! It gives the chili a wonderful creamy texture without any dairy.
