Vegetarian 5 Bean Chili image

This recipe evolved from my beef/venison chili recipe while I was pregnant and couldn't tolerate meat in my diet. It's a hearty chili that fills my 6 quart crock pot to the brim. I recommend Muir Glen brand for all of the tomato ingredients, fire roasted if you can find it, organic beans and veggies, and Penzey's chili powders (I use medium hot and regular heat).

This chili is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I usually make a big batch of chili after Thanksgiving or Christmas and then freeze it in individual containers. It's a great way to have a quick and easy meal on hand.

I'm new to cooking and this recipe was really easy to follow. I was worried that it would be too spicy, but it wasn't at all. It was actually really mild, so I added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little bit of a kick.

I love the smoky flavor of this chili. I used chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, which gave it a nice depth of flavor. I also added a bit of dark chocolate, which I've heard is a secret ingredient in some chili recipes. It really takes the flavor to th
