Two-bean chili with ground soy
Using two varieties of beans makes this dish full-bodied. I like to eat this on its own or serve it over some brown rice or a baked potato.
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup canned corn, drained
  • 2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 8 oz soy-based ground beef substitute
  • 1 cup canned red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (can be store-bought spaghetti sauce)
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup shredded aged cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
  1. Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, add the oil and set over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes or until soft. Stir in the corn and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the corn is browned, stirring occasionally. Add the ground soy and sauté for 2 more minutes.
  2. Add the kidney beans, chickpeas, tomato sauce, stock, chili powder, dried basil, sugar and cumin. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or just until mixture is thickened.
  3. Garnish with cheese, sour cream and fresh basil.
