Vegetarian Three Bean Chili – Cooking Light

I have the cooking bug! I made this as part of my New Year’s Eve menu. Obtained from cooking light. Even my meat & potatoes husband loved this recipe.
I did add a couple handfuls of Morningstar Griller’s Crumbles to add the “meat” in the chili.

This is definitely a yummy recipe that has been permanently added to my cookbook!

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup prechopped onion
1/2 cup prechopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can organic vegetable broth (such as Swanson Certified Organic)

1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

Serve with sour cream.
