My husband claims that since this has no meat in it, I cannot call it chili. Moreover, “chili” with beans is not chili, either. I’m not sure who makes up the rules, but this is called Vegetarian Chili in Simply in Season. Pin It

My first time cooking in three weeks, and since it was chicken, I knew DH wouldn’t say “it would be great with chicken.” I was floored when he said “it needs some greens.”
