Vegetarian Three Bean Chili

Vegetarian Three Bean Chili

I love chili, stew, soup – anything I can slow cook in my Dutch oven so I decided to make a vegetarian three bean chili today because it was rainy and cold–perfect weather for chili! It turned out really tasty, healthy & comforting and made my house smell so good all day long.
