GELSON'S VEGETABLE CHILI



Gelson's Vegetable Chili image

This popular chili is sold in the deli section of Gelson's Market, and the recipe has been published in the LA Times. I've been making it for years because it's delicious; however it's also healthy. I suggest serving it with cornbread.

Tasty, rich and no meat - oh my! I am a meat-eater and I like this chili. You can sprinkle cheddar cheese on top if you prefer. (Don't tell the vegetarians, but you can also add browned ground beef too....). Enjoy!
