Vegetarian Chili

Hearty and filling, this vegetarian chili stands on its own mildly spicy two feet but feel free to doctor it up with additional veggies (diced butternut squash, mushrooms, green beans …) or even a plant-based ground meat. 

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil 
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups celery, chopped 
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 1 jar (29-ounce) tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bag (16-ounce) frozen corn
  • 3 cans (15.5 ounces each) dark red kidney beans (rinsed, drained)
  • Cooked rice, optional
  • Shredded cheddar cheese, optional
