Vegetarian Chili
From windy1950 14 years agoIngredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- 1 large onion, chopped shopping list
- 2 small zucchini, unpared and chopped shopping list
- 1 8oz pkg sliced mushrooms shopping list
- 2 28-30oz cans crushed tomatoes, with juice shopping list
- 1 16oz can sweet whole kernal corn shopping list
- 2 16oz cans pinto beans shopping list
- ½ tsp salt shopping list
- 1/4 tsp black pepper shopping list
- ½ tsp ground cumin shopping list
- ½ tsp garlic powder shopping list
- 1 tbsp chili powder, more or less shopping list
- tomato paste, optional shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Heat cooking oil in soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, zucchini and mushrooms; cook until vegetables are tender.
- 2. Add remaining ingredients, except for tomato paste. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for about 1 hour. Towards end of cooking time, add tomato paste one tablespoon at a time, only to thicken soup if desired.
- SUGGESTED GARNISH: Serve with corn chips or saltines.
- NOTES: Chilies and thick stews are excellent served in bread “bowls”. I would use a round hollowed out, 8-oz rye or pumpernickel loaf for each person if the soup is the main course; otherwise for appetizers, use a biscuit dough recipe divided in 6 parts, shaped over the sprayed undersides of a jumbo muffin tin and baked for 10-12 minutes at 450F deg.
- Leftover chili tends to be rather thick. At this stage, I like to serve it over rice. If the chili needs thickening, tomato paste a bit at a time serves the purpose quite well.
- I have been known at times to garnish my bowl of chili with a well done, salted and peppered, fried egg.
