Vegan Rainbow Vegetable Chili is loaded with a plethora of antioxidants, phytochemicals, and amazing vitamins to keep your body nourished and healthy. It has every color of the rainbow in this dish including red, orange, yellow, green, purple, white, and black. I love to eat it over brown or white rice. The recipe makes a huge batch perfect for leftovers. And the flavors blend even better the following day.

Growing up, my mom would make this chili for us. It brings back tons of good memories enjoying the dish together, talking, and eating savory food.
