Ingredients

* 1 32oz container veggie broth * 1.5 C water * 3 cans diced tomatoes * 1 16oz package dried lentils, rinsed * 2 sweet potatoes, cubed * 3 carrots, sliced * 3 stalks celery, sliced * 1 green pepper, sliced * 3 clove garlic, diced * Huge handful kale (optional) * 2 Tbsp cumin * 1 Tbsp cinnamon * 1 Tbsp chili powder * 1 tsp pepper

Directions

First, add the veggie broth, water, diced tomatoes, and rinsed lentils to a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for about 10 minutes (to soften the lentils) while you�re chopping the garlic, carrots, sweet potatoes, celery, and green pepper.

Throw the garlic, kale, carrots, and sweet potato into the pot, followed a couple minutes later by the celery and green pepper.

Mix it all up, and then add the spices � cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, and pepper.

Let the mixture continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until it reaches the level of cooked consistency you prefer, and ENJOY!

I usually serve it topped with some extra marinara sauce or salsa and cilantro.

Makes 16 servings, 1 cup each.

It's Fall and the perfect time to make a satisfying chili. This recipe is yummy and pleased both myself (a vegetarian) and my husband (a carnivore who tries to avoid vegetables). It has a wonderful flavor that becomes even richer after a day. I am going to freeze several servings for the future!!! - 10/20/10

This sounds fantastic. I'll use my home made veggie broth and I always have all the other ingredients on hand too. Perfect! - 10/20/10
