Miso Bean Chili

December 20, 2018 by Gina +

this Pin this

Chili on a cold winter night is too fitting.  I keep this one simple with onion and beans, allowing the seasoning to really pull the flavor together.  Specifically miso, adds a subtle umami taste. This is one of my favorite vegan chili recipes because it’s so easy but hearty and all the good flavor.

Miso Bean Chili

Print Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 25 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 drained cans of beans I like kidney, white beans, and black beans
  • 1 cup small diced potatoes
  • 2 cups broth
  • 1 can crushed tomato
  • salt and pepper

Equipment

  • large pot

Method
 

  1. Start by heating a large stock pot over medium heat. Add a little oil, then the onion. Saute for a few minutes until tender. Add the garlic then the seasoning, with a large pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Stir the seasoning for about 30 seconds, then stir in the miso paste. Add a little of the broth (a couple TBSP) to get the past broken down.
  3. Add the beans, potatoes, and crushed tomatoes, then slowly stir in the broth. I don't usually use the full amount because I like the chili thick. It cooks down so keep that in mind. I use just over a cup. But add as much as you want!
  4. Bring to a boil for a few minutes then simmer over low/medium for about 15- 20 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.

I like to thicken up the chili by going through with a potato masher and mashing some of the beans.  About 15 mashes thicken it up nicely!
