Pineapple Vegan Chili

Submitted by Roosie

"Really interesting sounding chili recipe from Claudia from the Simple Living message boards. She says that 1 cup = 3.5 WW points. Claudia says "* 'So Soya' ground beef comes in a box (in the the produce section of Loblaws where I am in Canada) and is a dry soy product that will absorb the moisture and flavor in a recipe and expand. You could leave this out - it wasn't in the original recipe, but I love to add it." Let me know how it turns out!"

We made this for dinner last night. It was great. We left out the mushroom because of an allergy. I wasn't able to get So Soya so we just added a cup of Frontier Bulk Soy Textured Protein (1/4" Pieces), CERTIFIED ORGANIC, 1 lb. package instead. This turned out wonderful and my father who doesn't eat animal products was able to enjoy dinner at my house for a change. Thanks!
