Aromatics: Warm the oil on a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cumin, cocoa powder, garlic, chipotle pepper, and tomato paste. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes to toast the spices.
Simmer: Add in the beans, tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Give the chili a good stir, then cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until thickened to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Blend (Optional): Blend up ~1 cup of the chili using either an immersion blender or stand-up blender for a creamier consistency
Serve: Season with additional salt to taste, if necessary. Serve warm and top as desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to one
