Easy and simple. My only issue is that I'm not much of a spice expert, so I was grasping in the dark with the chili powder and cumin. Since this is a vegetarian chili, the taste is spot on; wholesome and doesn't taste processed. I added mushrooms and I even think when I make it again I will use rice to absorb all the liquids. :) Great recipe! Thank you!

Buonas noches and thank you for helping me put a tasty and healthy meal on the table quickly tonight. I made a couple changes but nothing major. I only had one small green pepper so I used an orange pepper for the second one. Then, I had a bunch of part used cans of various beans that I had opened for other recipes on the tour. So, red kidney beans, black beans and pinto beans all went into the pot. I served it with flour tortillas on the side, a sprinkling of Monterrey jack cheese and a dollop of reduced fat sour cream. Made for Chow Hounds on ZWT5.

Very easy to make, & it freezes well, too! I used a red & a yellow bell pepper along with almost 2 teaspoons of chili powder & 1/2 teaspoon of cumin! That, along with the spicy juice was enough of a kick for us! Very, very tasty, & my veggie son & his wife would love it, I'm sure! Will keep this recipe around!

Good solid veggie chili. I had to make some subs which, honestly, I wouldn't recommend. I used regular veggie juice. Make sure to use something with some kick. And I left out the chili powder for my kids, but I found it a little bland. For the recipe I made the review would be 3 stars. But as written it's 4. Thanks for a good one to try.

I work in the lab of a large county hospital. Cooking, particularly exotic ethnic cuisines and fancy desserts is my therapy and stress relief. Being a geeky kind of person, I'm really into the science of food.
I'm getting into playing cooking games and contests on 'Zaar. Why not come play with us? It's lots of fun.
