Very Nice recipe! I made some modifications to it and it turned out wonderful. A can of beef broth here (Canada) is 10 oz not 14 and I used a whole large can (28 oz) of diced tomatoes in place of 14 oz can of crushed. Tomatoes are the base of the chili in my opinion and to forgo a large quantity and big chucky ones I think would be a mistake. I added all the vegetables that were called for but in addition I also added 2 chopped carrots, 3 stalks of chopped celery, and an 8oz packaged of sliced mushrooms. I too like thick chili and although I LOVE beans (especially kidney) I am trying a carb reduced diet (P90X!) and beans unfortnately are high on the list despite their other healthy and nutritious qualities! By adding the other vegetables, the chili thickened up just how I like it and tasted great!! I also did not have any green chili pepper so substitued with chili powder (1/4 cup). I also added 1/2 teaspoon of garlic, 1 teaspoon of basil, about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar to get rid of that bland taste that tomato paste usually has! I also added half a can of light beer (i.e. Coors Light or Bud Light etc), yes beer!, as it gives chili that extra oomph! I topped with fat free sour cream and reduced fat cheddar cheese. YUM! I would like to try this with the green chili beans next time but I think I will keep everything else the same. Thank you SO much for sharing this delicious, healthy, recipe!
