Last Night's Dinner - Vegetarian Black Bean Chili

[Guest guest]

This came out great. Very quick to put together too. I used fresh tomatoes,

not canned, as I have a ton in the backyard. All types. I omitted the

garnish of cucumber (???) as the Ontario Greenhouse booklet said. I

garnished with sour cream and chopped chiles and chopped cilantro (I don't

know why anyone thinks it tastes like soap! My mom once washed my mouth out

with Ivory Soap for saying a naughty word at the age of 7 and it definitely

does not taste like soap).

 

This was great.
