This makes a lot! Refrigerate or freeze any extra in a tightly covered container. (Freezing it in individual serving-size containers can be very convenient for future spontaneous dinners.) It reheats well.
Servings: 10
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups small-diced onion
1 cup diced bell peppers (a mix of red, yellow, and green is nice)
1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp minced or crushed garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
Big pinch of cayenne pepper
1 (28 oz can) crushed tomatoes packed in tomato puree
1 (15 oz can) diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
1 (15 oz can) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz can) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz can) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Freshly ground black pepper
1. Place a large saucepan or soup pot over medium-high heat and wait 2 minutes. Add the oil and wait about 30 seconds, then add the onion, peppers, and salt. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and both the onions and peppers are beginning to soften.
2. Add the chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, basil, and cayenne; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth, and bring to a boil.
4. Add all the beans, and bring to a boil again. Reduce the heat, partially cover the pot, and let the chili simmer gently for 20 minutes-or as long as 1 hour. (If simmering longer, give it a stir every 10 minutes or so to see if it needs some additional stock.)
5. Grind in some black pepper, and taste to adjust the salt. Serve hot.
