Homemade Vegetarian Chili Recipe

Ingredients:
2 soy Veggie Burger patties, crumbled (Boca brand is good)
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1/2 Onion, chopped
1 Jalapeno, chopped (with or without seeds, depending on how hot you want it)
1 tbs. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Real Salt^TM
2 cloves Garlic, chopped
3 cups Strained Tomatoes
2 cups tossed Salad (mixed greens, chopped red and yellow peppers, chopped carrots, etc.)
Vegan Cheese shreds (optional)

In a saucepan or cast iron pot, brown crumbled patties in olive oil. Add all remaining ingredients except salad. Adjust seasonings to your own taste. If you don't like it too hot, you can seed your jalapeno.

Put about half the chili in a blender, add salad mix, and puree. Pour back in the remaining chili and stir thoroughly. Serve topped with vegan cheese.
