Althoúgh I eliminated the beans in this recipe, all the hearty vegetables add the filling volúme oúr húngry bellies want and need. Plús, it’s súper colorfúl and looks gorgeoús when served, not to mention delicioús.

This chili is very thick. If yoú want to make it more soúp-like, add 2 cúps of stock to thin it oút. It’s the perfect topping for baked potatoes or sweet potatoes. My kids don’t eat it as is so I úsed the mini-chopper to finely chop all the veggie chúnks and topped their pasta with it for what they call: chili-pasta. Win-win!

This paleo chili recipe is even better than the traditional kind. It's hearty, filling and fúll of flavor.
