    Delicious! I have been searching for a meatless chili so this filled the bill! I used shitake and baby bellas and subbed in rotel tomatoes with green chiles. So flavorful and even better the next day! I will definitely make this often.

    1. Hi Gloria. You can simmer the soup on the stovetop for about 30 minutes and use canned beans instead of dried beans.
