Healthy Cashew Chili

"This is delicious when the weather turns cool; best served with a green salad and cornbread. If possible, make this chili one day in advance and refrigerate overnight. When reheating, stir in water, vegetable stock, or tomato juice to thin as desired. This chili will keep in the refrigerator for about 5 days. This recipe, by cookbook author Paulette Mitchell, appeared in a local periodical."
