Ultimate Veggie Chili
Recipe courtesy Anne Tegtmeier, Windsor, CT
Ingredients
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon each chipotle chili powder and red pepper flakes
14 ounces extra-firm tofu, frozen and thawed
2 (14-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (4-ounce) can diced jalapenos, drained
1 (4-ounce) can green chiles, drained
2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14-ounce) can dark kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup whole roasted cashews
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Garnishes: sour cream, shredded Cheddar, more roasted cashews, optional
Directions
In a large stockpot, saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the olive
oil over medium-high heat until onions are starting to soften. Stir in cumin, chipotle, and red
pepper flakes. Crumble the thawed tofu into the mixture and saute 5 minutes more.
Reduce heat to medium. Add all tomatoes, jalapenos, green chiles, black beans, kidney beans, corn
and cashews; mix well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add salt and
pepper, to taste.
Garnish with sour cream, grated Cheddar, and additional cashews, if desired.
Skinsfan has answered with a great recipe already except for the corn and the tofu. I'd leave those out. Whoever heard of corn in chili? Tofu is just needless and definitely expendable. Could also add a can of navy (white) beans.

I have made this recipe, so I can honestly say it is really good, and my kids thought so too...
I did use 2 cans of tomatoes, not 1.
***Black Bean Chili***
4 large poblano peppers
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 jalape?o pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cans black beans (15 ounces), drained of half their liquid
2 tablespoons chili powder (a large palmful)
2 teaspoons ground cumin (about half a palmful)
1/2 teaspoon allspice (eyeball it)
1 bottle dark lager beer, such as ***** Modelo
1 can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes (15 ounce can or half a 28o ounce can)
2 cups beef or vegetable stock (use vegetable to make it vegetarian)
Hot sauce, to taste
1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish
PreparationHeat broiler to high.
Char the poblanos under the broiler so their skins blacken, 7-8 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 10 minutes. Once the peppers have cooled enough to handle, peel and seed them, then roughly chop them up and set them aside.
Place a medium-size pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO, about two turns of the pan. Add the jalape?o, onion and garlic to the pan, and cook 6-7 minutes, until the veggies are tender. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add in the beer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook a few minutes to reduce the liquid by half, then add the black beans and their liquid, the chopped poblanos, spices, crushed tomatoes and stock. Bring up to a bubble, then reduce the heat and simmer to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper as needed.
Serve the chili up and pass around hot sauce, sour cream, and cilantro at the table to top it with.
