Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, carrot, and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until it darkens slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the kidney beans, black beans, and corn.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the chili simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded, remove from heat and squeeze in the lime juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as avocado, cilantro, or vegan sour cream.
