Chili is an easy way to eat a gluten-free dinner! And this savory, hearty chili is full of good-for-you ingredients: trio of protein-packed beans, quinoa, and loads of spices. And of course, the toppings are where it's at in chili. We like a dollop of sour cream (or vegan sour cream) and hot sauce and crunchy roasted salted pepitas. Or try homemade tortilla strips for another way to add a crunch.

To make it filling enough for a main dish, add lentils, meat, or vegan meatballs or another side of hearty plant based protein.

This vegan and gluten-free wild rice soup is pretty darn incredible, if we do say so ourselves. It's creamy, it's cozy, it's savory: yet somehow, it's made 100% of plants. After you make it, you'll swear that somehow a little heavy cream got mixed in. It's perfectly seasoned, and you might not be able to stop eating it (we weren't!). Per my sister: "This is really the best soup ever."
