Winter is the time for heartwarming bowls of soup, stew and chilli. Food’s that will fill you up and keep you warm. What’s even better is that they’re the types of food which are perfect for batch cooking and popping in the freezer!
One of my absolute favourite meals to make is chilli, especially veggie chilli mainly because you get to have nachos as well!
I’ve teamed up with Schwartz to try their hot chilli con carne herb mix to make the perfect veggie chilli which is bursting with flavour!

a heartwarming big pot of vegan chilli perfect for winter days
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 small red onions
- 2 cloves garlic (minced/finely chopped)
- 1 sweet potato (chunked)
- 3 carrots (diced)
- 1 pepper (chopped)
- 400 g kidney beans (drained)
- 400 g chickpeas (or mixed beans) (drained)
- 400 g chopped tin of tomatos
- 250 ml water
- 1 packet Schwartz hot chilli mix
In a large pan, heat up the olive oil. Add the garlic and onions and cook until softened
Add the rest of the vegetables and cook for 5 minutes
Add the beans, tomatoes, water and herb mix and mix together until the herbs are all mixed in
Bring to the boil and then simmer for half an hour until all the vegetables are cooked
Serve with fresh coriander, rice, nachos and some guac
Using Schwartz herb and spices mix
This was the first time I’ve ever used a herb mix pack and I was so impressed with how easy they are to use!
They’re the perfect blend for the recipe so you don’t need to worry about having all the right herbs in the cupboard.
The flavours are perfect as well. I wouldn’t usually go for super spicy but this was actually a really nice heat.
It made it a lot easier to make the chilli too, especially if you’re in a rush, as the blend is just right. I’ve been known to be slightly heavy-handed with herbs before and this stops that problem completely!

The perfect spoonie recipe idea
A reason I love recipes like this so much is that they’re perfect for batch cooking.
Not only is it easy to make, but it also freezes easily too. So if you’re having a low energy day, you can still have a heartwarming meal which is full of goodness!
What’s your favourite recipe for low energy days?
