I have passed this receipe along to lots of people to. For all you vegetarians out there this is a great chili receipe. Put cheese on it and chips. It's really good and easy to make.

It's currently on the stove and smells wonderful. I added an extra can of black beans for the protein, and some green peas to make the stew even more colorful.

Delicious soup! I had some frozen butternut squash that needed to be used, so made this for lunches this week. Had a bit for snack and will serve with cheese and some tortilla chips. Yum! Thanks for posting!

I made a few changes: used 1 green pepper, substituted one can of chicken broth, plus 1/2 cup tomato sauce for 14 ounces tomatoes. After I cooked it I decided to try slightly pureeing the soup and LOVED the texture, so I did the rest. The squash pureed roughly and the beans and corn stayed whole. I enjoyed the creaminess of the squash much more. It reminded me of a tortilla soup in a restaurant. Delicious! Roxygirl
