2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups small-diced onion
1 cup diced bell peppers (a mix of red, yellow, and green is nice)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon minced or crushed garlic
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Big pinch of cayenne pepper
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes packed in tomato puree
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Freshly ground black pepper

1
Place a large saucepan or soup pot over medium-high heat and wait 2 minutes.
2
Add the oil and wait about 30 seconds, then add the onion, peppers, and salt.
3
Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and both the onions and peppers are beginning to soften.
4
Add the chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, basil, and cayenne; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth, and bring to a boil.
6
Add all the beans, and bring to a boil again.
7
Reduce the heat, partially cover the pot, and let the chili simmer gently for 20 minutes-or as long as 1 hour.
8
(If simmering longer, give it a stir every 10 minutes or so to see if it needs some additional stock.)
9
Grind in some black pepper, and taste to adjust the salt.
10
Serve hot.
