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.

Categories     Black Beans

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:

  • 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.

Conclusion:

This vegetarian chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's packed with protein and fiber, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this vegetarian chili a try.
