Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened and translucent.
Stir in the red and green bell peppers, carrot, and celery. Cook for another 6-8 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, and vegetable broth to the pot.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. If you prefer a spicier chili, add more chili powder or a dash of cayenne pepper.
Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty, soy-free chili!
