1 medium Red bell peppers (diced)
1 medium Zucchini (diced)

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Chop onions, carrot, bell pepper, and zucchini.

Place a medium pot over medium heat. Add olive oil. Saute onion, carrot, and bell pepper for 3 minutes.

Add the zucchini, salt, chili powder, cumin, and oregano to pot. Saute for an additional 5 minutes.

Add the canned tomatoes, vegetable stock, corn, and beans. Bring to a simmer.

Simmer for 30 minutes on medium low heat. This will allow the flavors to meld and chili to thicken.

To serve, top 1 cup chili with 2 Tablespoons of cheese and tortilla strips.

"As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so. Whether it's laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the piano, writing a bit of poetry, manipulating a digital photo, redecorating a room, or inventing a new chili recipe - we are happiest when we are creating."
