Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, carrot, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, along with their juices, into the pot.
Stir in the kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, making sure they're well combined with the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the corn kernels to the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the corn is heated through and the chili has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime for added flavor, if desired.
