Crockpot Vegan Green Chili

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.

    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!

    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 ?

    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?

      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!

    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!
