Ingredients:
1 cup tomato juice
1 cup bulgur
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped small
1 green bell pepper, seeded, cored, and chopped small
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1
Bring tomato juice to a boil in a small saucepan and add bulgur, set aside, covered, off the heat.
2
Head oil over medium heat in a large, wide pot or Dutch oven. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, for 5 to 10 minutes. Add carrots, green pepper, and garlic and cook until carrots are barely tender, about 10 minutes more. Add spices and stir for about 1 minute; stir in green chilies.
3
Add canned tomatoes with their juice, chopping coarsely or squeezing them through your fingers as you add them to the pot. Stir in kidney beans and bulgur-tomato juice mixture; stir to mix well.
4
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes (or longer, if desired) to blend the flavors, stirring occasionally. If necessary, thin to desired consistency with water or tomato juice; add salt and pepper.
5
Serve hot, topped with grated cheese, if desired.
