Mushroom Tofu Chili image

To flavor and deepen the color of this meatless version of the American classic, add plenty of sauteed onions and sliced mushrooms, as well as a touch of soy sauce. Because this chili is made of vegetables, it cooks faster than meat-based chili. Serve it with hot tortillas or pita bread, or over rice or spaghetti. It makes a hearty main course. From the Florida Sun Sentinel.
