Recipe



Add onion, bell pepper, and extra virgin olive oil to a large skillet and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a 10 or 12-quart stockpot.
Combine TVP and boiling water in a bowl and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to soften TVP. Add to stockpot.
Stir miso into water until dissolved and add to stockpot.
Add whole tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, chili beans, salt, chili powder, cumin, tamari, and crushed red pepper to stockpot and simmer 30 - 40 minutes to blend flavors. (If using a crockpot, follow above directions
for the onions, bell pepper, and TVP. Then transfer them to crockpot along with remaining ingredients and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours.)
Put each of the toppings into a separate bowl, and serve at the table. Spoon the chili into individual soup bowls, and serve with a hearty soupspoon.

*This makes a mild chili. For a zestier bite, use 1 t. crushed red pepper flakes and add 1 T. chili powder and 1 T. red miso.

This recipe is portioned for a 6-quart crock pot. For a 4-quart size, cut the recipe by 1/3.

Serves 8 chili lovers.
