Throw-in-a-pot vegetarian chili

Some nights are meatless at our house.
I'm always trying new vegetarian chili recipes.
Today I treated myself to an afternoon television show
(Oprah revealing her half-sister)
and threw it together during commercials.
Frozen veggies and canned goods
make this a pantry meal.
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can navy (or pinto) beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup frozen okra
  • 1/2 cup frozen lima beans
  • 1-28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 heaping TBL. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. coriander
  • 1 tsp. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 2 sprinkles garlic powder
  • 1 sprinkle cayenne pepper
  • 3-4 shakes worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • A few grinds of black pepper
Combine in pot.
Bring to boil.
Reduce heat, cover, simmer 20-30 minutes.
Top with cheese & sour cream.
Serve with tortilla chips.
Makes 12 ladlefuls.
