Instructions
Place the textured soy protein in a medium bowl and cover it with 1.5 cups of hot water. Set aside and let it rehydrate for about 10 minutes.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and diced carrot to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the chili powder and ground cumin, cooking for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the rehydrated soy protein, diced tomatoes (with their juices), kidney beans, black beans, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Season the chili with salt and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and flavors meld.
Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
