Vegetarian Chili
Description
This Vegetarian Chili begins by sautéing diced onion and minced garlic in olive oil until tender. Additional vegetables — celery, carrot, jalapeño, zucchini, mushrooms, and green bell pepper — are added alongside red kidney beans, canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, vegetable juice, chili powder, and cumin. The mixture simmers covered to develop flavors and soften the vegetables.
After an initial simmer, the pot is uncovered to allow the chili to thicken to a satisfying consistency. The chili is seasoned primarily with chili powder and cumin, yielding a flavorful but balanced heat profile. The recipe is adaptable to various toppings and can serve as a filling main or side dish.
