Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium sweet green pepper pulsed in good processor to make chunks.
- 1 fresh jalapeno finely minced. Remove the seeds for a milder taste. Add more, if you like it hot!
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 2 medium carrots chopped
- 4 cups tomatoes I chop these in a food processor to ensure that the skins are in small bits. You can use a large can (32 oz.) of canned tomatoes in place.
- 1 small can tomato paste 156 ml.
- 1 cup smoky corn You can use a can of niblet corn and a little smoky paprika, or your own frozen smoky corn from the fall harvest!
- 2 cans mixed beans I used the chili-seasoned mixed beans. You can substitute a can of brown, baked beans and a can of kidney beans
- salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a little oil.
- Chop your onion and garlic by pulsing a few times in your food processor. Throw these in your pot and saute until onion is translucent. Add your chopped peppers and let cook for a couple of minutes, stirring.
- Add your spices and continue stirring for another minute.
- Add the chopped celery, chopped carrots, tomatoes and tomato paste. Add your corn and beans and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add more chili powder at this point, if you like it spicier.
- Let your chili come to a boil, stirring carefully and then turn it down to simmer and let it cook slowly as the flavours combine. It's ready as soon as the vegetables are softened, but it improves with some simmering!!
- Serve this in a warm, garlic bread bowl or a warm bowl. I like to put slices of fresh avocado on top and a sprinkling of vegan parm. Garlic bread, made with Cashew Crumbles, is always a great addition! Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Add a few slices of avocado and some Cashew Crumble for a tasty topping! Toss on some sliced jalapeno if you like that extra bite. Garlic bread, made with Cashew Crumbles, is always a great addition!
