Soy-Easy Chili

Okay, pardon the lame pun, but this super easy chili has got me excited! This was really flavorful, and I wish I could take the credit, but the soyrizo did all the work. I had only used soyrizo once before in a breakfast strata (see link for recipe), but thought it would be really good as a chili base, and it was. You basically don't need any other spices because the soyrizo itself is so flavorful.

Ingredients (makes about 4-5 servings)
-1 package of soyrizo, such as Trader Joe's
-1 yellow onion, diced
-2-3 cloves garlic, minced
-1 can red kidney beans
-1 can white beans
-1 can diced tomatoes
~6 oz reduced fat shredded Mexican blend cheese
-1/2 can of water
-1 T EVOO
-5 green onions, diced down through most of the green part
-tortilla chips, optional

Steps
1. In a large skillet, pot, or dutch oven, saute your onions over medium for about 4 minutes.

2. Add in the garlic, stir for one minute.
3. Add in soyrizo, beans, tomatoes, water, and stir. Cover and reduce heat to low medium.
4. Cook for about 15 more minutes (or until ingredients are well heated), stirring once or twice.
5. Stir in cheese and top with green onion.
