Souperfoods 2020 SouperChef Special | Soulful Vegan Chilli
(Vegan | Dairy-Free | Gluten-Free)
Some of you may have known from my Instagram posts that I have gone dairy-free and thoroughly enjoying it! I’ve also always loved my vegetables more than my meat so as a recipe developer, I relish the challenge of creating a dish that packs an incredible amount of mind-blowing flavour without the use of any meat or dairy! You are going to love this vegan recipe, a lovely alternative to the traditional chilli con carne, packed with good stuff, full of soulful flavour and hearty enough to eat as a meal! Satisfy your nutrient needs with roasted sweet potatoes, zucchini, tofu and beans, simmered slowly with chillies, cumin and paprika in a smoky tomato-based soup.
Ingredients used for Soulful Vegan Chilli
And wait, there’s also quinoa! A humble grain crop grown mainly for its seeds, it has achieved almost a cult-like following in the recent decade amongst health enthusiasts and recipe creators. Long touted as a superfood with high fibre, a complete protein containing all essential amino acids, quinoa has become intuitively synonymous with weight loss. It’s also gluten-free and rich in antioxidants, a great complement to the other nutritional giants in this soup. I particularly love the mild nutty flavour and bite quinoa lends to this dish. Enjoy the soup topped with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spring onions, tortilla chips and a squeeze of lime! Feel souper from inside out!
