Instructions

  1. Dice onion and bell pepper.
  2. In a large stockpot over medium heat, sauté onion and bell pepper for about 8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
  3. Meanwhile, mince garlic. When onion is translucent, add garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir and sauté 1 minute.
  4. Add vegetable broth, tomatoes with juice, and tomato paste. Bring to a light boil.
  5. Meanwhile, rinse and drain beans.
  6. Add beans, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes (or longer) until thickened.
  7. Serve with any toppings of choice. (I love avocado!)

Notes

  • *Chili powder: If you're concerned about the spiciness level of your chili powder, simply decrease the amount from 2 tablespoons to 1 tablespoon. Then slightly increase the other seasonings instead.
  • Make it spicy: This recipe is mild/medium as written (if using mild chili powder) so add cayenne pepper, chipotle, jalapeño, or hot sauce if desired.
  • Beans: Any two cans of beans will work great with this recipe (kidney, black, or pinto).
  • Yield: Recipe makes about 7 cups chili.
