QUICK AND EASY VEGETARIAN CHILI

I went through a veg phase, and this was a staple. I'm back to being an omnivore, but I still make this once a week or so. It's great topped with a little cheese (regular or soy) and a chunk of cornbread. If you're a Weight Watcher, this is 3 points for a 2 cup serving. If you're a die-hard carnivore, you can add ground meat, but I think it's much fresher and tastier without.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 -2 green bell pepper, diced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can spicy vegetable juice
1 (14 ounce) can red beans
1 (14 ounce) can black beans
1 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn
chili powder
cumin
fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse beans and corn.
  • Heat oil in a large soup pot.
  • Add onions, garlic and bell pepper, and cook just until onions are translucent and bell peppers are bright green.
  • Add tomatoes, vegetable juice, beans, corn, chili powder and cumin. (I use a LOT of chili powder and cumin).
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • More vegetable juice can be added if chili gets too thick.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas.
  • Don't be afraid to add vegetables: Vegetables will add sweetness, texture, and nutrients to your chili. Some good options include onions, bell peppers, corn, and carrots.
  • Use a good quality chili powder: This is the key ingredient in any chili recipe, so it's worth spending a little extra on a good one. Look for a chili powder that is made with a variety of different chilies, and that has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Simmer your chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer your chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced avocado.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian chili is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying chili that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a vegetarian meal that is both delicious and nutritious, give this recipe a try.
