RECIPE BY Oxmoor House

This soup has a mild chile flavor. If you want more heat, increase the amount of chili powder and don't seed the jalapeños.

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

FYI it's not actually vegetarian, as Worcestershire sauce contains fish

Thanks- good to know. We are not strict vegetarians, more to the "vegetariah-ish." But if serving this to strict vegetarians, I will be sure to leave it out.

I haven't tried this recipe (although it looks good) but Worcestershire sauce isn't vegetarian!!

Pretty Delicious!

I made this last night, but had to make a few tweaks here and there so it would fit in my 4 quart crock pot. I omitted the Worcestershire sauce totally since it's not vegetarian and added more chili powder. I also like things a bit spicier so I added cayenne pepper as well. It was a very soupy chili recipe, but definitely one worth trying! It's delicious with some crackers.

Delicious. The sour cream, cilantro and jalapeno jack cheese is a must. Added a small spritz of fresh lime juice to my bowl and toasted some corn tortillas on the stove top. I used one jalapeno and added half tsp of paprika. Next time I will drain the liquid from one can of the diced tomatoes. Cooked it for 8 hours in the slow cooker, wasn't too mushy but if I don't want to wait I think 6 hours would suffice.

Good all bean chili

Made this dish for dinner. It def needs more chili powder and cumin. I seeded and deveined the jalapenos. Next time I will only seed and devein one of the two and maybe add a green bell pepper. Will def make again. Thanks for sharing.

Careful, vegetarians!

This recipe contains Worcestershire sauce, which is generally NOT vegetarian! Many varieties contain some kind of fish like anchovy. If you want to make an actual vegetarian chili, replace that with something else, like Bragg's liquid aminos or make your own (google for recipes)

Soupy - but flavorful

Flavor is really nice, but more souplike rather than chili since none of the liquid evaporates in the slow cooker. I'll be using leftovers as burrito and taco filling.

Super tasty!!! Don't know why the average isn't 5.

This is very flavorful! Very easy and will make again. I used parmesan cheese at the end instead of sour cream and jack cheese because I already had this in my refrigerator. I will definitely make again. Thanks for posting such a tasty recipe. I also used water instead of stock because I didn't own stock.
