Vegetarian Chili image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, chopped

2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 green peppers, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
2 small zucchini, diced

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat.
  • Add 2 chopped onions, garlic and chilies. Saute until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes.

  • Bring to simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Add all beans and cook 15 minutes more.

  • Ladle into chili bowls. Serve, passing cheese, sour cream and any other chili toppings you like!
