Hearty plant-based chili with black beans, quinoa, and mushrooms in a sweet tomato broth. Perfect to prep in advance and load up with toppings!

Black Bean Quinoa Chili by Flora & Vino           

Is it still soup season?

As long as we’re staying safe at home, I’m saying it is.

Each Monday throughout April I’ve made a new pantry-friendly recipe via Instagram stories.

And surprise, surprise, almost all of them have been soup!

It’s so satisfying to throw legumes, grains, and veggies in a cook pot and let them simmer to deliciousness.

Give me a pot, some quinoa, black beans, and spices, and I can make you a vegan, gluten-free, and totally satisfying meal.

This Black Bean Quinoa Chili is packed with black beans, quinoa, and mushrooms in a sweet tomato broth.

It’s made with only pantry-friendly ingredients that you probably already have tucked away in your cabinets.

Black Bean Quinoa Chili prep shot

Here’s what you need to make Black Bean Quinoa Chili:

  • avocado oil
  • white onion
  • garlic powder
  • Eden Foods Organic Black Beans
  • diced tomatoes
  • vegetable broth
  • tomato puree
  • Eden Foods Organic Quinoa
  • white mushrooms
  • chili powder
  • cayenne pepper
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • black pepper
  • cinnamon

That’s it!

It’s so simple.

First, sauté the onions and mushrooms in a large pot, then deglaze the pan with vegetable broth and add all of the remaining ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a low-boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Taste and add in more chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Two pantry staples I *always* have on hand are Eden Foods Organic Quinoa and  Eden Foods Organic Black Beans.

Together, they create a “meaty” texture and consistency to this chili that’s packed with plants!

The quinoa and black beans combined create a wonderful hearty plant-based base that’s packed with protein, iron, and fiber.

This recipe makes for a thicker stew-like chili, but if you prefer thinner soup with more broth, add in a bit more vegetable broth to thin things out.

Black Bean Quinoa Chili by Flora & Vino

Make this Black Bean Quinoa Chili as a hearty plant-based soup with pantry-friendly ingredients.

This is a blueprint recipe that you can add to, so feel free to throw in any other vegetables you have on hand.

Some delicious ideas are bell pepper, squash, and diced tomato.

Load up the steaming bowls with your favorite toppings.

Black Bean Quinoa Chili by Flora & Vino

I love almond milk yogurt, fresh cilantro, avocado, and hot sauce.

This soup is ideal for meal prep because it serves 4-6 and leftovers might taste better than the original!

If you have time, try making this in a slow cooker or increase the simmer time on the stovetop for an even richer flavor.

Enjoy!

I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the midst of cookbook edits and stunning spring weather, I felt called to unfurl my Manduka mat and talk my friends and family through a feel-good flow.
-
At first, I felt rusty; stumbling through cues and postures. What’s that pose, again? What’s that body part? I forgot options; I forgot pacing, I forgot to balance active poses with rejuvenating rest.
-
But I’m starting to get it back. The confidence that comes with repetition. The joy that comes from seeing a student let go, watching tangible tension melt away; I’m an audience to mindfulness.
-
I wanted to become a yoga teacher because it felt like the single greatest gift I could give to another human being. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the greatest gift that I give to myself.
-
As I get back into teaching, I’m reminded that crafting yoga classes is a beautiful, delicate artform. One that I’m excited and eager to get better at.
-
I teach vinyasa yoga—A creative flow. I’m currently working on theming my classes—conveying a subtle suggested message through movement, music, and words.
-
Last Friday I taught my book club and I spent hours working on the soundtrack and the sequence. I shifted around openings and contractions, counted things in threes, and shuffled songs in a clear crescendo towards peak posture, softening into savasana.
-
It reminded me of the English classes I took in high school. We tirelessly underlined paperback books, searching for themes, motifs, and expressive language with a pink highlighter and red ballpoint pen.
-
Writing a yoga sequence is kind of like that, but in reverse. This time I’m the author, the creator, the conductor, sprinkling in symbols and allusion and foreshadowing to guide towards the truest version of you.
-
I strive to talk through the poses with expressive language and concise cues. Watching for reactions, feeling what the collective is feeling, working with them to achieve a union of mind, body, and spirit.
-
That’s yoga.
-
What makes a *good* yoga class for you? Please comment and share! I’m hoping to open up classes to my community eventually. 😘

ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hi ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hiking this weekend about Girl Scouts, which led us to think about Girl Scout cookies. These are vegan and gluten-free “Tagalong” cookies with an almond  butter twist! They’re easily made with almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, and dark chocolate. The recipe is very easy to make with simple whole foods ingredients that you probably already have on hand!
