Note: For a corn allergy, don't add corn. For vegeterian chili, leave out meat and add more veggies.
You can always find this chili stocked in my freezer. It is my favorite on the go meal, containing all of the major food groups in one comforting dish. Use whatever vegetables, beans and meat you have on hand at the time, toss it all into a crock pot or soup pot and have a delicious go-to meal.

* Trader Joe's has a wonderful dairy-free taco seasoning. If you can't find one in your local grocery store, use a mixture of about 2 Tbsp chili powder, 1 Tbsp ground cumin, 1 tsp cayenne, 1 tsp oregano and 1 tsp salt. Add more of each, if needed, to taste.
*If using a soup pot on the stove, add all ingredients except zucchini, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and let simmer per step 6.
