1
Combine the TVP, lukewarm water, and chili powder; allow to sit for about 10 minutes to rehydrate.
2
Rinse the beans thoroughly to cut down on the sodium content.
3
Combine the rehydrated TVP, beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon, and honey in a large pot; turn heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
4
You may need to add some broth if it gets too thick.
5
Taste the chili and add more honey or spices as desired.
6
Simmer an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it's nice and warm; the time is pretty flexible since you're just heating everything up.
