Vegetarian Chili

INGREDIENTS

    • 1 pkg frozen soy crumbles (such as Morningstar, Boca or Greenwise)
    • 1 can red beans or kidney beans
    • 2 cans (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes (I use Muir Glen fire roasted)
    • 1 can tomato paste
    • 1 very large onion
    • 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1 1/2 cups water

INSTRUCTIONS

    1. You can use salt and pepper to taste, but wait to see if they are needed. The soy crumbles have sodium, so I find added salt isn’t necessary.
    2. Use 4 quart or larger pot.
    3. Sauté onion in olive oil in same pot
    4. Add all the ingredients
    5. Cook over low to medium heat until thickened (approx. 45 minutes – 1 hour)
    6. Serve over rice or by itself.
    7. Garnish with shredded cheese and sour cream (Note: the dish will be vegetarian but not vegan anymore).
