Notes

Serve your vegan chili over rice or quinoa.  You can also serve it in a hollowed out bread bowl.
If you are not concerned with keeping this chili vegan, you can serve it topped with shredded cheese or sour cream.  You can also choose to use vegan cheese or sour cream if you would like to keep the recipe plant-based.
