      Title: Lentil Chili
 Categories: Low fat, Chili, Posted
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      2 c  Lentils
      5 c  Water
     28 oz Canned tomatoes
      1    Bell pepper; chopped
      2    Jalapenos; chopped
      1 lg Onion; chopped
      4 cl Garlic; minced
      1 tb Chili powder
      2 ts Cumin
      1 ts Oregano
           Salt to taste
           More cayenne to taste
 
  Rinse the lentils and cook until soft.  There will be extra water, but
  since this is soup, that's okay.  Add the tomatoes and veggies, and
  cook until the onion is soft.  Add the spices to taste.
  
  Variations:

  As someone else pointed out, adding bulgur (or brown rice) is tasty
  and satisfying.  Add 1/2 cup of grain to the lentils and add another 1
  cup of water.
  
  Shredded carrots and corn are also good.  In fact, I've found that
  you can make just about any gloopy mass into chili by adding chili
  powder.  :-)
  
  Kidney beans are also very good in this recipe.
