spicy 20 minute vegetarian chili

The original back of the can base recipe was all frozen or canned ingredients. I added in some quick chopping and dicing for a more interesting flavor and diverse vitamin content, but you can still go from nothing to something in short order. I have a 12 inch diameter by 3 inch deep Calphalon nonstick covered pan that I am able to do everything for this three part recipe in.

  4. Stirring occasionally, leave on full boil for 10-15 minutes, or until consistency has thickened to your liking, and then turn off heat.
