Instructions

Step 1

Over medium heat in a large saucepan, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add diced yellow onion and saute for a few minutes. Then add diced carrot and garlic.

Step 2

Add 1-2 tsp of cumin, 2 teaspoons of chilli powder, and 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Then add 2-3 (depending on desired level of spice) chopped chipotles in adobo.

Step 3

Add 3 cans of red beans, black beans, and/or pinto beans and stir to coat in onion/spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes or so.

Step 4

Add one large can of diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Depending on how "soupy" the chili is at this point, add vegetable broth to achieve desired consistency. You can also just use water.

Step 6

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Reduce heat to simmer and cook for as long as you want (the longer it simmers, the better the flavor). I usually do 30 mins on simmer.
