Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays: Tina's Vegetarian Chili

When I worked as a nurse, I had a good friend, Tina, who gave me this recipe for Vegetarian Chili.  She was a vegetarian herself, and she brought in this chili one day for an office potluck.  To be honest, when I pictured vegetarian chili in my mind, I pictured some sort of white, pastey chili with veggies plopped in it.....not so! LOL  I was hooked from that day on, and I have made this my main chili recipe now.  It's so nice because I can just plop it into the crockpot, stir it up good, and supper's basically made for me.  We like to serve it with sour cream and either Fritos or cornbread.  It's wonderful!  Thanks, Tina!:) 

Enjoy!
