My favorite vegetarian/vegan chili recipe



This is the best chili I've ever made, veggie or not. It started out as a recipe from Hungry Girl, but I made some changes to please myself and my family. Check it out!

    ~4 1/4 cups canned tomato sauce
    ~1- 28oz can organic diced tomatoes
    ~3/4 cup canned red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    ~3/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
    ~1/2 cup canned jalapeno slices, chopped
    ~1 large chopped onion
    ~1 large organic red bell pepper, chopped
    ~1 large organic green bell pepper, chopped
    ~1 3/4 cup organic chopped carrots
    ~2 cups organic veggie broth
    ~1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    ~1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
    ~2 tsp crushed garlic
    ~1 tsp ground cumin
    ~Salt and pepper to taste
    Put veggies in pot with spices and saute in water or tablespoon olive oil for 5 minutes or until just crisp tender. Place remaining ingredients in pot and cook 30 minutes (longer if thicker chili is desired).
You can also add white beans or use just one type of bean, if you'd like. Even healthier, cook and use your own dried beans, instead of using canned.
