Warm Winter Chili Recipe

• Serving Size: 1 cup (approximately 8 oz)

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 30-40 minutes

• Total Time: 45-55 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp / 1 oz olive oil

• ½ cup  / 4 oz yellow onion (approx. ½ medium onion)

• 1 bell pepper

• 1-2 carrots

• 1 celery stalk

• 1 jalapeño pepper

• 1 tsp vegetable stock paste or 1 cube (low sodium)

• ¾ cup / 5 oz water

• 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz, no salt added)

• 1 tsp chili powder, to taste

• ½ tsp dried oregano

• ¼ tsp ground black pepper

• ¼ tsp ground cumin

• ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper

• 3 cans beans of choice (kidney, pinto, garbanzo, cannellini, etc.) rinsed and drained

• 1 can veggies of choice (sweet corn, peas, green beans, etc.) rinsed and drained

Instructions:

1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrots, celery, and jalapeño. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

   
   

2. Add Stock and Water: Stir in the vegetable stock paste (or cube) and water. Mix well to dissolve the stock.

   
   

3. Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices: Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), chili powder, dried oregano, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

   
   

4. Add Beans and Veggies: Gently fold in the rinsed and drained beans and your choice of canned veggies.

   
   

5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

   
   

6. Serve: Once the chili is heated through and flavors have developed, serve hot in bowls.
