Veggie Chili

1 head celery diced
1 large onion chopped
2 large green peppers diced
3 cloves garlic diced
1 large can tomato puree
1 large can tomato chunks
1 normal sized can kidney beans
1 normal sized can black beans
1 normal sized can red beans
1 normal sized can corn
2 packets taco seasoning

Optional: add a meat substitute, or crumbled tofu. I think that falaffel works too!

This one's easy!

Brown the meat substitute (if applicable) on the stovetop in a very large pot. Add everything and cook on high covered for around 30 minutes stirring often, then simmer until it tastes yummy (10 minutes to hours depending on your taste). Alternatively, brown the "meat", then throw all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours. Great to start in the morning and come home to a deliciously smelling house.

This freezes well. I always have some available in the freezer for when I don't feel like cooking.

Have you ever tried adding BBQ sauce with the chili?

I made this recipe and throughly enjoyed it. After eating leftovers I got the idea to put the rest into a food processor and make soup out of it by adding some V8 juice. The soup was a hit more than the chili. Thanks.
