Warm up: This plant-based chili makes everyone happy

When it gets colder outside, you need a dish that warms you from the inside – like this vegan chili sin carne! Instead of ground meat, spicy fried tofu and chickpeas go into the pot. Spices like smoked paprika, cumin, and chili add depth and a pleasant heat. Tomatoes and vegetable broth make the whole thing nice and creamy. This chili is not only super filling but also ideal for meal prep: Once cooked, it tastes almost better the next day. Served with rice, baguette, or nachos, it's a true all-rounder for any occasion. 🌶️🍲
