Simple vegetarian chili:
1 cup dried pinto beans
1 cup dried navy beans
1 cup dried lentils
1 cup dried or canned corn
10 cups of water
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
2-4 tbsp ground cumin (by bulk bags online for $7 instead of overpriced jars in store and grind yourself with a cheap Mr. Coffee)
10 tsp or to taste of vegetable better than bouillon
Black pepper, chili powder, paprika to taste
Put in instant pot, pressure cook normal for 45 minutes, natural steam release, switch to slow cooker on low until meal time.
Makes multiple dinners for a family of 5. Serve on its own, over rice, or in burritos. Pairs well with sour cream, diced peppers, siracha, etc.
Obviously the more you can but in bulk the cheaper it gets per person.
Chilli is s great thing to learn to riff with. You almost can't go wrong adding things to it. What you list here is a good starting point, but I'd almost certainly add onions and peppers to it.
Farro or cracked wheat can add a little meaty texture to a veg chili. The best veg chilli I ever had had sweet potato, something I'd never have thought of.
