Cook the beans or open and drain 2 cans of beans. Saute the onions and celery until translucent. (You can omit the oil and use some water from your cooking beans if you want to cut down on fat and caloric intake.) Stir in the water, bouillon granules/vegetable stock, chili peppers, spices and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Use your hand held potato masher and mash about 1/2 the beans for thickness. Serve with a fresh loaf of vegan friendly French Bread and you have a hearty family meal.
*My entire family loves this recipe. This is flavorfull and inexpensive. I almost always have everything on hand to make this dish. If you are uncomfortable with the thought of cooking dried beans, there are many web-sites you can go to that explain just how to cook beans. It's easy and quite honestly, better for you.

I used the dried beans and cooked it in the crock pot. My DD5 even asked for more! - 7/21/08

LOVED this recipe. I used can beans because I haven't reached the point of planning meals ahead of time yet. I did not get much out of this so I made elbow macaroni and my husband and I both covered the macaroni with the chili. I also added corn. Was great but next time I'll make more. - 2/15/12

Hubby really liked it. I guess by calling it chili I expected it to be a thicker soup. It was very brothy and didn't appear very appetizing. I might try it again but add more beans. - 1/8/09

Let us know how it works out! You can't go wrong with adding more beans, at least not in my family.
