Ingredients
For the Buffalo Chili
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter (can sub vegetable oil)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 14 ounce cans fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 14 ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 14 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 14 ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 to 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ¼ cup to ½ cup cayenne pepper hot sauce (Frank's brand is best for this recipe)
  • salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
Instructions
  1. Place the butter into a large pot and set over medium heat. Melt the butter, then add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Sauté until the veggies begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add tomatoes, cannellini beans, chickpeas, pinto beans, 1 cup of broth, cumin, chili powder, and ¼ cup of hot sauce to the pot. Stir a few times to incorporate the ingredients. Raise heat and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and allow to simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 60 minutes. I like to go the full 60 minutes, until the beans begin to break down, but it's up to you. Add up to an additional cup of broth during cooking if the chili becomes too thick.
  3. Taste test and add up to an additional ¼ cup of hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Ladle into bowls and top with cashew ranch, avocado, and scallions. Serve.
