Add the can of diced green chilis. Saute in olive oil cooking spray. Add the cans of tomatoes. Dice the carrots, mushrooms, celery and cabbage. Add to the pot. Add the bays leaves, bouillon and V8. Add the spices, excluding the salt and pepper at this point. Add about 8 cups of water (or more if the V8 was omitted). Simmer for two hours. Season with additional salt and pepper if necessary. On beef days, you may add ground beef to the chili. I like to make a batch of this and another variation; I then freeze half of each for freshness. My boyfriend likes the chili version with cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips on top as he is not dieting. It works out pretty well. :) |
