Add the vegan ground.
Add ancho chili powder, chipotle chili powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, smoked paprika, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes, until well combined and fragrant.
Stir in the cornmeal, No-Beef Soup Base, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and molasses. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
