I would definitely make this regularly. My omni hubby and mother-in-law could not get enough of it! When making the chili, I only had one bag of veggie crumbles (TVP), so I used half a link of Melissa's brand Soyrizo ( sold in the produce department next to tofus and soy cheeses). I simply sauteed it for a little while in a seperate skillet and then added it in while the chili was simmering. For those you who claim it was too spicy: When prepping the jalapeno's remove all seeds and remove as much of the whitish 'ribs' (or membrane) surrounding the seeds as you wish. It will have that mildly spicy but pepper-y flavor without all the heat. All of the cans of beans were rinsed and drained before dumping into the pot. I don't care for the thick, starchy liquid that coats them. It has most of the preservatives and sodium. Not to mention, it gives the beans a funky taste and odor. The beans taste cleaner and fresher after being rinsed IMO. I thought there were more than enough beans so I also decided to save the black beans for tostadas or tacos. Oh, and another thing- go easy on the salt. I wished I hadn't added the entire tablespoon as I was taste-testing it. You can always add to your taste, but you can't take it out. I heard adding starchy root veggies like potato, carrot or parsnip will help absorb some of the salt, but I didn't bother. 4 stars =)

This is tasty and easy! I used a 10 oz package of TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of burger crumbles, which made it necessary to double the salt and go a little heavier on the spices. This yields an enormous pot of chili---I'd say closer to 12 servings. It was extra good after the flavors had a chance to meld in the fridge overnight.

Absolutely amazing! I would not change a thing about it, but if you're not into spicy, scale down the spice some. I love all the veggies, but am not vegetarian so I add ground turkey to the mix. Such a wonderful and hearty chili that's really good for you!

I absolutely loved this. It was fantastic! I actually used ground turkey instead because I just loved all the beans and veggies in it. I like mine really spicy, so I added some cayenne pepper and hot sauce. So yummy! Thanks a million. I am making this for my second time tonight and the only thing I'm changing is I will use crushed tomatoes instead of whole. Delish!!

Great! We made it for Friday night dinner. Everyone loved it. Then on superbowl sunday used left overs for chili dogs, another big winner with whole family. Later on in week used final leftovers to top spaghetti and then sprinkled cheddar cheese on top. My whole family cant stop talking about the "chili" mom made!

I just won second place in a chili cook-off at work with this chili! There were 12 entries and no one could believe mine was vegetarian! I read a lot of reviews and made just a few changes: Used only two 28 oz cans of tomatoes, added about 4 chipotle peppers, minced (the ones in adobo sauce), used only one jalapeno and one green pepper, only 1 tsp of salt and omitted the corn. Some people said it was kind of spicy, and some said it wasn't spicy at all. I think it was just the right amount. Chili is one of those foods that people like a certain way, and you can't please everyone. However, I do have to say that if this chili beat 10 other "meat chilis" in a contest...it must be good! I also wanted to mention that the consistency was perfect with two cans of tomatoes- not too runny and not dry. Good stuff!

Wow this chili is good. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used some frozen New Mexican green chile(buenofoods.com) rather than canned. I added it in after 20 minutes of the simmering time as to not distroy the texture. I didn't know veggie chili could taste so good.

I made a few changes.. I add 5 zucchini, use a whole onion instead of a half, omit the salt but double all spices except for oregano, use one jalapeno, double the garlic, and substitute 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for the chili powder. I've found that it makes a heartier, healthier, more flavorful chili, but this recipe is still wonderful as is! Using fire-roasted tomatoes is a nice touch as well. I could eat this every day for a week! Also, make sure to drain and rinse the beans very well, or you'll end up with an extremely salty chili.

A GREAT addition to our usual meaty Super Bowl! Everyone loved it, and guests asked for the recipe! It's a pretty HOT recipe, so you may prefer to tone it down. But it's awesome as is if you don't mind a little heat!!! Enjoy!

I am giving this four stars because I had to change the recipe because of poor grocery shopping. I used three chili's in Ancho sauce instead of the jalapenos, equal parts cumin and cayenne pepper instead of chili powder and the juice of one lime. I found that my additions made it too spice so I added the lime. The chili was excellent the night I made it, but the next day the lime did even more work at making the spices more melodious.

Delicious as is, a bit spicy, so if you dont like spicy, I do, reduce the hotter spices. It serves great with the sunny cornbread muffins from this site, my only note, dont buy crushed tomatoes. I always find they have a different taste, but either whole canned tomatoes, or diced canned tomatoes and throw them in cuisinart to resemble crushed tomatoes

When done right, this chili evokes a bright, balanced, savory set of flavors; the peppers do make their presence known (if you don't like that, you just don't like peppers), and, with that classic chili texture and all the warm smells from the cumin, even the most rabid of meat-eaters don't miss a thing. I've made this for my wife and I, for six of my friends on a fishing trip, and for more than a dozen people at a party, and, more than anything else I cook, it is universally loved. I like to add mushrooms, if they're around, and sometimes I throw the whole vegetarian thing out the window and toss in a few pounds of ground turkey.

this is a excellent mild chili, I used it for our annual fund raiser for our Lions Club and all 12 quarts went fast.I added low sodium v8 juice to add nutrients and used a frozen mix of onion,celery and green pepper which sure saved time. I also used frozen corn. If it sits for awhile in a roaster etc it really thickens up so the v8 juice worked well to keep it from being too thick.
