INSTRUCTIONS
In a large heavy bottom dutch oven over medium-high heat add oil and once hot saute onion, bell peppers, celery, carrot and hot pepper. Saute for 2-3 minutes and add garlic, saute again 1 minute. Add seasonings and mix a few times until combined and spices are starting to open up.
Add in the remaining ingredients: all beans, broth, tomatoes, puree, mix to combine and simmer on lower heat for 20 minutes. The chili should now start to thicken. If too thick, add more broth or warm spring water. Season for salt and pepper. Right before serving squeeze lime juice all over the chili. Serve warm bowl of chili right away with plenty and more toppings.
