This is my all-time favorite chili recipe. I am vegan but non-vegans will also love this. I add finely chopped mushrooms for more bulk sometimes. Very flavorful and delicious.

I love this recipe. Also tried it with lean ground beef and a little masa & tomato paste, awesome either way.

This recipe is excellent. I didn't have squash so I added an extra zucchini, mushrooms as well as a little habanero, and a spicy banana pepper. Turned out delicious. Thank you.

This turned out excellent! I had 12 guests for dinner, some of which weren't vegetarians and they loved it!
