Vegetarian Chili Recipe
This is a recipe sent in by Meg as an entry into the Gimme Recipes! Contest. I’m a fan of vegetarian chili, and this one looks great.
VEGETARIAN CHILI RECIPE
extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 cup shredded/chopped carrots
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 (14.5 oz.) can undrained diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 vegetarian bouillon cube
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 t. ground cumin
1 Tb. chili powder
2 (15 oz.) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drainedSaute onion, celery, carrots and garlic in a bit of olive oil in a LARGE pot until veggies are tender. Then dump in tomatoes, t. paste, bouillon cube, WATER, spices and beans… Cook approx. 20-40 minutes, until flavors combine.Good served on a baked potato, (my husband puts it on veggie dogs), or w/ fritos, cheese and/ or sour cream…. YUM!!* I also add “veggie ground beef” along with the vegetablesPS-not sure if this counts b/c of the processed part of the rules. The beans/tomato do go thru a “process” to get in the can so if this doesn’t count just try it for yourself–trust me!!!We can eat off this for days and I’m not even a huge chili fan usually.
Note to Meg: You’re safe! It’s easy to find these items without preservatives, additives, etc. so I don’t consider them processed either.
