Gluten Free Chili

So its that time of year when its cold, damp and everyone is getting sick. During these times I LOVE to make chili. There is so many ways to make it that there really isn't a strict recipe to follow. For those that want exact amounts, this may not be the place for you.

I usually make my chili vegetarian but you don't have to. Ground Turkey, cooked and added too is great.

Ingredients:
Peppers (I like to mix it up one green, 1/2 orange, 1/2 yellow)
Onion
Tomato
Tomato Paste*
Beans (2 cans of your favorite beans. I prefer to mix kidney and cannelini beans)
Firm Tofu or Ground Meat* (Optional)
Potatoes (Optional)
Broth* (Veggie or Chicken)
Water
Salt and Pepper to taste

So if cooking ground meat, fry that first until it is mostly cooked. Add chopped onion (about 1/2 cup but really by taste). Add about half of a small can of tomato paste. Add Salt and Pepper. If using potatoes, add diced potatoes. Then add chopped peppers and half a diced tomato. Continue to stir. Then add beans (if using Tofu, throw it in now). Then top off with veggie broth and water to taste. Then bring to a boil, lower temperature and let cook for a little while. Feel free to add any other veggies like mushrooms or carrots.

Really good with Bob Red Mill GF Bread. Can top with cheese, steamed radishes and sour cream.

Yum. Enjoy and let me know if you change it up yourself?
