Ingredients

• 1 yellow onion, chopped

• 2 cups mushrooms, chopped (portabella or cremini)
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 can no-salt added diced tomatoes (796 ml)
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup no-salt added tomato paste
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tbsp. homemade chili seasoning (my recipe)
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 2 cans red and/or white kidney beans (2 x 14 oz/398 ml)
• 4 ears of corn, steamed and kernels removed

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine onion, garlic, celery, bell pepper, mushrooms and red wine in pot and cook until onions are tender.

2. Add all remaining ingredients except for corn and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then cook uncovered on medium-low heat for about 45 minutes allowing the flavours to come together. Stir occasionally.

3. Remove from heat and add corn and cilantro. Stir and serve with brown rice, if desired, and a green salad.
