Continue cooking until chili reaches a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Then add the remaining vegetable broth and quinoa and stir to combine. Taste and seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- For a thicker chili, use 1 cup of quinoa instead of ½ cup.
- Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and stir thoroughly to combine. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours or until chili is cooked through. Taste the chili and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
