Chili doesn't just have to be cold weather food - it's just as lovely with summer veggies. This meal was on one of our early meal plans the week of 9/2/13, and we're excited to show it off again!

Heat a >5 quart (4.73 liters) Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then white parts of green onions to heated oil with some salt. Saute for ~1 minute and then add the diced onions with a pinch of salt. Add in red peppers and zucchini / squash with another dash of salt. Saute for ~3 more minutes and then cover with beans, tomatoes, broth, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt. Cover and bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered until vegetables are tender, ~10 to 15 minutes.
Add in corn and then season to taste with salt, pepper, any of the spices, and / or hot sauce. Top with sour cream and chopped green onions.
Used three cups of broth and added an extra teaspoon of coriander and cumin. Lots of chopping but loved the summer veggies and that I could make it ahead while the kids were at school. Best part was the corn and sour cream on top. Delicious
