Vegetable Chilli Recipe

It's been a while since I shared a recipe with you guys and it's one of my goals for March to be better at this, so here goes. I've made this vegetable chilli a few times so thought I'd share it with you to enjoy too. It's a quick, cheap and easy one to make. The recipe will make around 6-8 portions so there's plenty to go around. I've also been trying to keep on top of my meal prep for the week ahead and this is perfect to pack up for lunches or have ready at home for dinner. You can serve this up with some wholegrain rice, a side salad or some crusty bread. I also love to top mine with some sour cream or guacamole. Enjoy!
