Fireside Veggie Chili

Ingredients

1 can black beans

1 can cannelini beans

(you could also use pinto, kidney, etc., this is just what I had on hand)

2 T olive oil

2 medium onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, chopped

3 stalks celery, chopped

4 carrots, shredded

1 green pepper (I didn't have one, so I left it out)

**I've also added other veggies, based on what I had on hand - zucchini, eggplant, etc

1 c raw bulger wheat

2 T cumin

1 T coriander

1 t basil

1 t oregano

1 t paprika

(I don't use chili powder, but the original recipe calls for it, so you could certainly use it)

1 24 oz bottle Organic Strained Tomatoes (Bionaturae brand) - see my post why I don't use canned

1 T tomato paste

1 c water

salt and pepper to taste

Optional garnishes:

shredded sharp cheddar

strained plain yogurt (use a coffee filter and a strainer) or sour cream

tortilla chips - A great way to use those broken pieces in the bottom of the tortilla chip bag

onion

hot sauce

avocado

shredded lettuce
