Vegetarian Chili

I have been so busy lately, no time for blogging. My boys were sick one after another, then myself, and now we started again.... The worst winter I can remember when it comes to the health chapter.

Anyway, this is one of my "comfort dishes". I make it without meat but if you like meat ground turkey or beef would work great in it.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil

2 onions chopped

Optional 1 package of veggie ground meat (or turkey or beef) about 300 g.

1 medium carrot peeled and chopped

1 yellow pepper seeded and chopped

1 can of crushed tomatoes ( italian or chili)

1 can of kidney beans ( or chickpeas) rinsed and drain

1 cup of frozen corn kennels

1 cup of vegetable broth

1 can of tomato condense soup

3 tbsp of chili powder

1/2  tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp coriander

1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground cloves

pinch cayenne pepper

1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onions until soft. If using meat or veggie ground meat now is the time to add it. Continue to cook over medium heat for a few minutes stirring continually.

If you are not using meat then add the yellow pepper and  carrot and cook for a few more minutes.

Add the kidney beans and crushed tomatoes.

Add the rest of the ingredients except parsley and simmer for 50 to 60 minutes.

Garnish with parsley.

Serve with a green salad and lots of good bread.

Enjoy!
