Instructions

  1. Heat the water in a large pot. Add chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté over high heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add water as needed.
  2. Add crushed tomatoes in their juices, beans and their liquid, chilies, and spices, and stir to combine. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until flavors are blended.

Notes

  • For a smoother consistency: If you like your chili with a little less texture, you can blend a portion of it with an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth.
  • If the consistency is too thick: Stir a splash of vegetable broth into the chili to thin the consistency.
  • Double or triple the recipe: If you’re serving a crowd or want to have extras on hand for meal prep, double or triple the recipe and store the batch in individual airtight containers in the fridge or freezer.
