Ingredients

1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon each chipotle chili powder and red pepper flakes
14 ounces extra-firm tofu, frozen and thawed
2 (14-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (4-ounce) can diced jalapenos, drained
1 (4-ounce) can green chiles, drained
2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14-ounce) can dark kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup whole roasted cashews
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Garnishes: sour cream, shredded Cheddar, more roasted cashews, optional

Directions

In a large stockpot, saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the olive oil over medium-high heat until onions are starting to soften. Stir in cumin, chipotle, and red pepper flakes. Crumble the thawed tofu into the mixture and saute 5 minutes more.

Reduce heat to medium. Add all tomatoes, jalapenos, green chiles, black beans, kidney beans, corn and cashews; mix well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Garnish with sour cream, grated Cheddar, and additional cashews, if desired.

Great veggie chili!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am 90% vegetarian, and this is a great chili recipe! I used almonds instead of cashews. Also very budget friendly. Nice!

Best chili ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is by far the best chili I have ever tasted. I have made this several times and it is always a big hit, even with... people who don't care for tofu. Try this, you will not be disappointed. Read more

Very satisfying for vegetable chili
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is the lst vegetable chili that both my husband (a meat lover) and I liked. However, it was too spicy for us. We... decreased the red pepper to 1/2 teaspoon but didn't realize until we were eating it that the canned jalapenos had seeds. This is a very easy recipe and I would definitely make it again but use fresh jalapenos instead of canned to reduce the heat.Read more
