A Heartwarming Vegan 3 Bean Chili Recipe

Believe it or not, my first memories of this vegan chili were from the cafeteria at my college dorm room. Every time they had this dish on the menu with, I was secretly excited - partly due to the fact that it was one of the few good vegetarian options they ever served that was also relatively healthy! The chili itself was vegan, but it was served with a side of buttery cornbread. Something conjured up this memory recently so I knew I had to make this dish along with some vegan cornbread as a healthy and wholesome recipe for our vegan audience.  This heartwarming combination is perfect to warm you up on chilly day.
