Tempeh Chili image

My friend Diane sent this to me today and she got it from Dr. Weil's Recipe of the Day. This is a high-protein chili with the benefits of soy. If you haven't tried tempeh (a fermented cake of soybeans and whole grains)it's a great substitute for meat. You can substitute any canned beans for the kidney beans.
