This was tonights dinner. A very basic, low fat, vegetable chili. Of
course, the heat can be upped considerably. Since it was from a low fat
cookbook and not a chile-related cookbook, she only uses what can be
found in the supermarket. I used homemade chili seasoning (not
McCormick's) and added some crushed pequins at the table. Boy was that
good. Made me warm all over and my tongue was on fire for a while after.

NOTES : * I used my homemade chili seasoning. It is not hot. I added
some crushed pequins at the table for myself. If you like it hot, add
hot chili seasoning. If mild, then packaged variety is fine.
Original recipe called just Vegetable Chili. Since there was already a
Vegetable Chili in Mastercook, I changed the name.
