Healthy Black Bean Chili Recipe

I found this black bean chili recipe on http://www.whfoods.com/  and tried it out last night. This chili is healthy, absolutely delicious, and really easy to make!

The recipe calls for canned beans but if you want to use dried black beans just soak them the night before and then cook them in water for about an hour before you add them to the mix.

Prep and Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, chopped

1 medium green bell pepper, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

1 TBS + 1-1/2 cups vegetable broth

6 medium cloves garlic, chopped

2 15 oz cans black beans, drained

1 8 oz can tomato sauce

1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (do not drain)

2 TBS ground cumin

2 TBS red chili powder

2 TBS dried oregano

1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen

1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro

salt and black pepper to taste
 
Directions:

Heat 1 TBS broth in a medium size soup pot. Healthy Sauté onion and bell pepper in broth over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add garlic, cumin, and red chili powder and continue to sauté for another minute.

Add 1-1/2 cups broth and the rest of ingredients, except for the cilantro and corn. Simmer for another 20 minutes uncovered. Add corn and cook for another 2 minutes. Add chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4

Enjoy!
