Oma's Vegan Chili Recipe
➤ by Oma Gerhild Fulson
A vegan chili recipe, aka veganes Chili, sounds impossible! It needs meat, right? Nope, it doesn't! Really. This one tastes that good.
Even my hubby likes this one! (And he's the original German meat-and-potato fan!) The recipe below is a combination of several recipes I found online.
I combined the best of each to create this chili so that fits into my vegan soup recipes.
Not only does it taste fabulous, it's so easy to make because it's a crockpot chili! Just throw it all the ingredients for this vegan chili in the crockpot and walk away till dinner.
Now, that's my kind of cooking!
A bit of this and a bit of that ...
- If you don't have chipolte chili powder or smoked paprika, just add a bit extra chili powder. Use regular paprika.
- You choose how 'beany' you want your chili. Add only 1 can or 3 or 4. One way I often extend the leftovers is to add an extra can of tomatoes and beans. New taste. New meal.
- Change up the types of veggies added. Omit the carrots. Omit the celery. Add mushrooms. You choose.
Here's my granddaughter, Lydia, helping me make this for our family supper. Everyone thought it was great!
BTW, you can't call this a Chili Con Carne, because that translates as "Chili with meat" ... this is just "Chili" ... but a really gooood bowl of chili, it is!
Oma says:
Even though my hubby is a 'German meat-and-potatoes' man, through and through, I throw in these vegan and vegetarian soup recipes every now and then.
I'm often pleasantly surprised when he reaches for seconds! This time, he had thirds as well!

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
Oma dispelled, with great skill, my stereotypical view of beige-y sauce over beige-y sausage with beige-y sauerkraut and beige-y potatoes and finally – beige-y taste.
I thought all German cuisine was the same – sausage. Boy was I wrong.
Beautifully photographed, Oma’s recipes (in German Meals at Oma's) taste as scrumptious as they look.
Look out France, Spain and Italy. A new major European cuisine is about to give you a run for our palates!
