Veggie Chili is one of my favorite soups, which I got inspired from The Pioneer Woman recipe. The one-pot of warm and delicious chili can be served in any occasion such as a Supper Bowl party. There are many vegetables can be used including beans and a lot of spice. I also like to cook meatless healthy meals for my family each week. Let’s get started ka.

Add salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder, turmeric powder, and curry powder. Pour water or the broth. Stir in tomato, zucchini, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture come to a boil and reduce the heat and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beans and stir until combine. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes more.
