Special Vegan Chili

Ravenhood's Note:

A tasty, mild alternative to meaty chili that includes ground flax seeds to gunk things together. What's extra special about this recipe is that it doesn't take hours to make! It's cornless too for corn is usually difficult to digest, and there's too much corn in everything these days anyway... Another recipe from my crazy experiments in the kitchen!

WOW! This was surprisingly really good. I added 1/4 cup cream cheese and a little bit of sugar to accommodate my taste, but the original recipe is really good as well. Will definitely make again.
