    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       06/17/2019   Vegan and delicious! My kids even loved it :)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/17/2017   Great recipes, however it would be helpful to have the nutrition information for those on restricted diets. Is this available somewhere on the site?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/14/2017   This recipe is quick, easy and delicious. I've made it many times. We're not vegetarian, but my family and I love it! It makes for a terrific savory hearty meal.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       02/26/2016   This is absolutely delicious! I added an extra can of black beans, instead of water - I used vegetable broth (2 cups more if needed) and some cayenne to taste. This is a good dish for vegans and meat eaters :-) Very satisfying .  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/07/2015   Love this recipe so much!!! It tastes amazing - the perfect blend of flavors and textures. I like to top it with sharp cheddar and green onions. An easy, simple, no-fail recipe that is fun to make.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       10/15/2014   Delicious! Made exactly as directed with one exception - used 1 cup of vegetable stock instead of 1 cup of water. Served with cornbread and cheese for topping. Perfect comfort food for a chilly fall day!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/12/2014   I thought this recipe was WAY to tomato-y. I had to add another cup of water just to dilute a little. It also needed a lot more cumin and chili powder. I suppose it's edible, but definitely not my favorite veggie chili recipe. Kind of disappointed.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       02/24/2013   Made this last night and it was delicious! I didn't have any zucchini on hand and i subbed veggie broth for water and added some rice. perfect!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/22/2013   This recipe is so good! Even the carnivorous members of my family love it! I have made this many times and I am going to attempt it in the crockpot today.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/02/2012   I will be making this once a week! Delicious. A few small changes. Didn't have cumin, carrots or corn in the house. Used a cup of beef broth instead of water. This was one of the yummiest "vegetarian" chilis I have ever made or eaten. Oh and I used 2 cans of seasoned black beans.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/01/2012   Delicious ! is there a breakdown of its values ? calorie, carb fat, etc ? I always want to read that before preparing.... thanks so much !  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/23/2012   Very delicious and flexible. Used creamed corn and kidney beans, because that is what I had at home. We live twenty miles from town, so we make do or do without. Be aware that this makes enough for 6-8. I cut the recipe in half the first time I made it and served it on baked potatoes. Two nights later I served the remainder with chicken breasts and rice. My husband is a big eater and it was more than enough for the two of us for two meals. Maybe adding items to the menu was the reason.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/09/2011   LOVED this recipe. We're all carnivores, cooking meatless because it's cheaper, but this recipe is so hearty you don't even miss the meat. We added half a jalapeno and some red pepper for kick, plus some mushrooms and celery because we had them on hand. Very very tasty and the fact that it's quick is a bonus.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/30/2011   This was GREAT! Very tasty! I served it with jalapeno corn bread, sour cream and mozzarella.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/09/2011   yummy!!! I used home made crushed tomatoes instead of the canned. And served with a garnish of cilantro and jalapeno corn muffins-excellent!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/27/2011   it was great! Looked great, tasted great! i used celery stalks as it's not a season for zucchini now in Ukraine and took 1 can black  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/30/2010   I have the pickiest 9-year-old eater ever. His "likes" consist of cheese pizza, pasta with butter, and steak. I gave him this chili, and he LOVED it. I didn't want to tell him how good it was for him. :)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/28/2010   Oh yeah, I also like to use a can of dark red kidney beans as well as a can of black beans. And once in awhile I will change the two types of beans to dark red and white........ for something different or maybe just what I have at the moment.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/28/2010   I like to quarter my zukes and carrots and very thinly slice those and also I add fresh baby spinach that is also sliced lengthwise before slicely or shredding it. Spinach adds so much to this dish. And in the winter, I do mine on top of the stove in a hurry sometimes. It really does not take that long if using canned beans.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/02/2010   I like it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/17/2010   This tastes SO good. Total comfort food!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/07/2010   I steamed the carrots before adding to the mixture. My kids like the carrots a bit more tender. Serve with brown rice and plain greek yogurt.
