Great vegetarian chili! Had a nice kick to it and liked the fact that it had a mix of kidney and butter beans. Used diced tomatoes and fresh spinach and green beans. Cooked it for a bit longer and added some tomato paste to thicken it a bit (as I like my chili thick). This is a great lunch and it's healthy too!! Thanks Alexis! Made for PAC 2007.
