An easy weeknight vegetarian chili made that uses up a lot of pantry staples, including beans, canned tomatoes, and vegetable broth.
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili in adobo, minced
  • ¾ lb dried white, black, or pinto beans, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 (28 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 zucchini or summer squash, cut into ½-inch pieces
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions, bell peppers, and 1 tsp salt. Cook until the vegetables are soft and starting to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, chipotle, and ½ tsp black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, vegetable broth, and zucchini. Bring to a boil. Decrease heat to low and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the chili has thickened a bit.
  3. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve topped with your favorite chili toppings.
