    Add diced sweet potato and desired spices. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add 3 cups vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a low boil on medium-high heat, then
    lower heat to medium-low and simmer. Add quinoa, beans, corn, and cinnamon. Cover
    and cook for 30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and the chili is thick.
    Once the chili is finished cooking, add an additional cup of broth. Taste and season as desired.
  3. Serve with avocado-lime juice or cheese as desired.
  4. Note: when reheating leftover chili, add additional broth to thin the chili back out.
