Instructions
  1. In a very large pot, sautee onions and garlic with olive oil on low heat until translucent.
  2. Add bell peppers and sautee for two more minutes.
  3. Add broth, beans, corn, tomato paste, tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and spices.
  4. Stir regularly and bring to a boil. Continue to simmer on low for 30 minutes.
  5. If you want it thicker or thinner, you can alter the amount of vegetable broth you add.
  6. The refried beans give it a thick consistency as opposed to a soupy consistency.
  7. For extra protein, you can add Morning Star soy meat crumbles.
  8. Serve immediately or make in advance. Chili is tastier if made the day before serving.
