My vegetarian daughter inspired me to develop this nutritious, meatless chili recipe. No one will miss the meat! I use vine-ripened tomatoes, cilantro and peppers from my garden plus fresh local corn from the farmers market. —Cindy Beberman, Orland Park, Illinois

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups diced fresh tomatoes (about 3 medium)
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn (about 8 ounces)
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Optional: Sour cream, diced avocado and lime wedges

Directions

In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeno; cook and stir until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and chili powder; cook 1 minute longer.
