COOKING LIGHT VEG CHILI

Cooking Light Veg Chili image

Yes, I am adding YET ANOTHER veg chili to this site! I can't help myself; this recipe has become our favorite go-to chili recipe, and it has a few touches that make it stand out from the rest IMHO. If your family would prefer meat in their chili, I have had success subbing 1/2 lb ground meat in for one of the cans of beans. But do try it veg...you'll be amazed at how hearty and filling it is! Feel free to sub the bean types for what you have on hand--I always do! As the title suggests, this is from Cooking Light, September 2008.

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, the drained black beans and pinto beans, vegetable broth and bay leaf. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, for 30 minutes.
Remove the chili from the heat and discard the bay leaf. For the best texture and flavor, transfer 1 1/2 cups of the chili to a blender, making sure to get some of the liquid portion. Securely fasten the lid and blend until smooth (watch out for hot steam), then pour the blended mixture back into the pot. (Or, you can blend the chili briefly with an immersion blender, or mash the chili with a potato masher until it reaches a thicker, more chili-like consistency.)
