Ingredients
Chili:
2 large onions, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces tomato paste (about 1 tube)
1/4 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups vegetable broth
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups canned (drained) or frozen corn
One 15-ounce can black beans
One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans
One 15-ounce can kidney beans
One 15-ounce can pinto beans
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Toppings Bar (optional garnishes):

Directions
- For the chili: In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the onions with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper until the onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil along with the tomato paste, chili powder, chipotle powder, coriander, cumin, cayenne and garlic. Cook to toast the spices and tomato paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the vegetable broth, tomatoes, corn, black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, Worcestershire and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Serve the chili with the toppings bar.
Cook’s Note
This recipe also works well with ground turkey or beef. Simply brown 2 1/2 pounds of ground meat before adding the onions.

I make this delicious chili twice a month. It is seasoned to perfection. Tiffani knows her flavors. You feel really content, nourished and satisfied after eating. It’s a perfectly balanced meal with loads of fiber and protein. It’s also cost effective to make.
