I've made this chili several times now and it's always a winner. It's so flavorful and hearty, and it's perfect for a cold winter day. I love that it's also vegetarian, so I can feel good about serving it to my family.

This chili is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can make it in my slow cooker, so I can just set it and forget it. It's also a great way to use up leftover rajma beans.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili turned out great! I love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers. I also added a can of corn and a can of black beans, and it was even better.

I made this chili for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it, even the meat-eaters. I think the secret is in the spices. They really give the chili a depth of flavor.
