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.

- Drain and rinse beans and corn.

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans and vegetables. This will make your chili more flavorful and nutritious. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, corn, bell peppers, and onions.

- Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Vegetable chili is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give vegetable chili a try.
