Veggie Chili

Ingredients:

2 tbs. olive oil
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped red bell peppers
1 cup chopped green bell peppers
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 fresh jalapeƱos, seeded and finely chopped
2 packets of chili seasoning
1 - 28 oz. can diced tomatoes and juice
1 - 16 oz. can kidney beans, drained
1 - 16 oz. can cannelloni or great northern beans, drained
1 - 16 oz. can black beans, drained
1 - 12 oz. can tomato juice
Salt to taste

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add carrots, bell peppers, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring until the onions are golden, 12-15 minutes. Add jalapeƱos and chili seasoning. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans and tomato juice. Simmer for at least 20 minutes. The longer the yummier!
I find that I don't need to salt my chili at all so taste before you do!
