This vegetarian chili is full of flavor and perfect for a party. It’s chock-full of so many healthy ingredients — including kidney beans, garbanzo beans, green zucchini and yellow squash.

To make this in your slow cooker, saute your vegetables and then add all of the ingredients to your crockpot. Cook the chili on low for about 4 hours, or until ready to serve. If you still want a meaty texture, try adding a taco-flavored soy product.
