Low Fat Black Bean Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Add the onions, peppers, carrots, and garlic.
• Cook about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until veggies are tender and onions are golden.
• Add the cumin and chili powder, then stir in the turkey, breaking up the meat.
• Once the turkey is cooked through, add the salsa, black beans, chicken broth, and tomato paste.
• Simmer about 45 minutes over medium heat.
• The chili should thicken as the liquid is reduced.

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight, drain and rinse.
• Cover the beans with water in a large pot, bring to a boil and simmer 1 hour.
• Add the remaining ingredients except the parsley and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until the beans are tender, adding more water if needed.
• Remove the orange quarters and serve over cooked whole grains; sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion, red bell peppers, jalapeno, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn for 10 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Season with black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Stir in the black beans, chicken or vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium low. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the soup to food processor or blender; puree and stir the bean mixture back into the soup. Serve hot by itself or over rice.
