Dietician Tip

If you can’t find Fresno peppers, you can use jalapeno peppers instead.

Directions

In a stockpot over low heat, cook onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic in 2 tablespoons of water until onions become translucent, about 10 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. If chili becomes too thick, thin with a little water.

• 2 cups diced onion
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 cup diced bell pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons water
