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.
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

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!

Summer gatherings call for dinners that basically Summer gatherings call for dinners that basically make themselves. 
These Sweet & Savory Korean BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches are made right in my 10-quart Autuku slow cooker, which means plenty of room to feed a crowd without spending all day in the kitchen.
The simple WARM/LOW/HIGH settings make it easy to set it and forget it, and the PFOA-free ceramic pot is removable, so you can bring it right to the table when it’s time to serve.
Pile the saucy pulled chicken onto toasted brioche buns with creamy sesame pickle slaw and extra pickles. Save this one for your next summer gathering!
