Ingredients
2 T vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the onion and pepper and saute, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown (6-8 minutes).
8 garlic cloves
1 T cumin seeds
1 T chili powder
1 T dried oregano
Stir in the next four ingredients. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until the spices are very fragrant.
2 cups fresh or frozen corn
398 ml can black beans
398 ml can kidney beans
Drain and rinse the beans. Stir in corn and beans.
796 ml can whole tomatos, juice reserved
Add the tomato juice, coarsely chop the tomatos and add them.
1 sweet potato, peeled and finely diced
1 T chipotle chilies, chopped
Add the sweet potato and chilies. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so liquid is just simmering. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the potato is tender and the chili is beginning to thicken (20-25 minutes).
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp cinnamon
Blend sour cream and cinnamon. Just before serving, season the chili with salt. Ladle into bowls and top with cream, cilantro and green onion.
