3 Bean Vegan Chili

Buenos días, Amazing Foodies!
How about we do a hearty soup for the soul today?

A little something to warm up the body and warm up the heart! Ahhh — few things in life are better than a nice hot bowl of soup on a cold day.

This recipe is very easy to prepare. You simply dump all of the ingredients into the crockpot. The downside, however, is that it takes about eight hours to cook. :/ BUT — the best thing you can do in a situation like this is to prepare this recipe in the morning before leaving for work. You let the crockpot do its magic during the time you’re away from home, and then when you return, your home smells heavenly and your hot meal is ready to be devoured! A more perfect scenario could not exist. 😉

I love to do this in winter: I wake up early, take my crockpot out of my pantry, start prepping my ingredients (washing, cutting, slicing, mincing), place my ingredients in my crockpot, turn it up on low for 6-8 hours, get ready for my day, and off I go to my responsibilities.
I am left worry free all day, knowing that my family will have a delicious meal at the end of the day with little to no effort on my part. It’s a wonderful thing (and so is this 3 Bean Vegan Chili recipe!)
