"This is a savory veggie chili that is more like a stew... it's a thick, FLAVORFUL, comfort-food kind of dish. I made this one up this weekend when I needed something fun for a crowd and it was a major hit with everyone- even the "meat heads" and I am not a veterinarian, but I love to eat like I am sometimes- and this one was definitely a winner!!! Enjoy!"
