Crockpot Vegan Green Chili is a play on green chicken chili. The white beans are creamy, and the nutty brown rice makes this soup hearty. I love adding avocado and cilantro to the soup. It's soooo yummy. I also crunch up tortilla chips, because I am obsessed with them.
How to make Crockpot Vegan Green Chili:
I don't think it get's any easier than this recipe! Dump vegetable broth, green chilies, salsa verde, white beans, brown rice, slat, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and lime juice in a Crockpot and cook on high for 6-8 hours.
Optional add-ins or swap outs:
- Top with cilantro and avocado
- Swap quinoa for the brown rice
- Swap kidney beans or black beans for white beans
- Add a can of stewed tomatoes
- Add some chili powder and cayenne pepper
- Add some lentils for protein (about 1/3 cup)
This Vegan Green Chili is a great week night dinner idea. Full disclosure: we are not vegan, but we enjoy eating plant based meals often. I also love the challenge of creating recipes without meat.

Looking for some hearty vegan recipes for fall and I'm excited about this one! Putting it on my grocery ingredient list. ?
thehungrywaitress
Awesome! Let me know how you like it! I am working on another vegan crockpot chili with black beans and sweet potatoes, and will have it up soon!
Emily
This was so good! Definitely added to the recipe book. My partner and I swapped out the canned beans for ~2 cups of dried white canellini beans and they cooked perfectly. I also added a chopped onion and fresh garlic which was really yummy. Topped with toasted corn tortilla strips. Thank you!
★★★★
thehungrywaitress
Yum! Thanks for the note about using dried beans. I'm so glad you all loved the recipe!
Sarah
So easy, so tasty. I followed the recipe except I used dried white beans and they were perfectly cooked after 6 hrs on high.
I showed the recipe to my 17 year old son who loved the instructions "Dump everything in a Crockpot. Cook on high for 6-8 hours." This is one he could make when he moves out. We figured out the recipe would cost about $13Cdn and made 8 servings - great for starving students ?
thehungrywaitress
Awesome! Definitely a good option for a starving student!
Michelle
So good! Thank you for the recipe. I added a can of black beans, some baby bella mushrooms chopped up and swapped quinoa for the brown rice and it was amazing!!! Keep the yummy vegan recipes coming 🙂

Sounds delicious! Thank you!
Myriam
This recipe was so delish. I was surprised at how much flavor it had. I have a question...have you ever tried this recipe using some lentils? Any ideas on measurements I should use?
★★★★★
thehungrywaitress
I'm so glad you loved it! I haven't tried lentils, but that sounds like a great addition. I would probably start with a 1/4 cup - 1/3 cup. Lentil will expand and thicken the soup so I don't think you would want to add too many. I will have to test it!
Adam
I?m currently making this one weekly. I followed the recipe and added four chopped tomatillos and a poblano pepper. It?s far tastier than the scant ingredients suggest. This is now in my top five favorite soups of all time. Thank you!

You're welcome!

Yay! You're welcome!

Didn’t have brown rice substituted with the quinoa. Still excellent, but would use the rice next time! Also did this in an instapot rather than crockpot, 30 min cook time

Malinda
Really good recipe but it's really misleading. It says twice that its crockpot vegan green chili and then on the actual recipe it says crockpot vegan green chili soup. But still really delicious! Just wasn't what I was expecting.

Stephanie
This was really good! I did add a few extras to make this more like a chili instead of a soup and it came out great!
Added: 1 diced white onion, 1 diced green pepper, cup of frozen corn, 3 yellow chopped potatoes and dried beans instead of canned beans. Everything was very tasty!
