EASY AND QUICK VEGETARIAN CHILI

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.

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:
- Soaking the dried beans overnight not only reduces the cooking time but also helps remove some of the indigestible sugars, making the chili easier to digest.
- Use a variety of beans for a more complex flavor and texture. Beans like kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans all work well in chili.
- Don't be afraid to add some heat to your chili. A little bit of chili powder or chopped jalapeƱo pepper can go a long way.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve your chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or chopped onions.
