- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the textured soy protein (TSP) with hot water. Allow it to soak for about 10 minutes or until it is rehydrated and plump. Drain any excess water.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper begins to soften.
Add the rehydrated TSP to the pot and stir to combine with the onion, garlic, and bell pepper mixture.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and corn kernels. Stir well.
Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the chili has thickened to your liking, add the lime juice and stir well.
Remove the pot from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this delicious and satisfying Chili con Soja with a side of crusty bread or over cooked rice.
