Hearty Chili Stew- Plant-Based GF

Nutriment Health and Fitness
With the cooler weather upon us, I start to create my hearty bowl stews. This time I wanted to make a flavour of chili, but make it more like a stew. The results was a delicious filling meal.
With the addition of the potato and corn, this stew has so much texture. Bursting with many flavours that bring this stew together.
