Instructions

PREP

  1. Quarter, peel, and slice your onions.
  2. Crush, peel and slice your garlic.
  3. Peel and chop your carrot into coins.
  4. Trim and slice up your celery.

HEAT

  1. Toast cumin seeds in a large soup pot on medium heat.
  2. When they are fragrant, add olive oil, onions and garlic.
  3. When the onions soften, add the chilli and paprika. Toss to coat and integrate everybody into the oil!
  4. Add chopped veg, soup stock cube, the can of diced tomatoes and an additional can of water. Add all beans including the liquid-it adds nice thickness to the chili!
  5. OPTIONAL Add corn.
  6. OPTIONAL Thoroughly break up a brick of veggie ground round and add.
  7. Bring to a near boil (too much boiling kills some good guys!), stirring once or twice. Reduce heat to low, partially cover your pot with a lid and simmer. Stir occasionally, especially along the bottom of the pot, and cook until your chili has a nice thick broth and the veg is cooked to your liking!
