VEGETARIAN CHILI

I have shared this award-winning recipe with many die-hard chili fanatics over the past 15 years, and thought I should post it since it is so popular. I adapted it from a Cooking Light recipe from 1991. I serve this with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and Keebler Townhouse Bistro Cornbread crackers.
