Preparation Instructions

Place the diced onions, beets, carrots, and celery in a large soup pot or pressure cooker. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they begin to wilt. Add in a splash water if they start to stick.

Stir in the tomatoes, chili peppers, lentils, cumin, cocoa, and chili powder. Pour in half of the broth. Bring up to a simmer for about 35 minutes until the lentils are softened. Only add more broth a as needed, if the beans start sticking at all or it needs to be a bit thinner. Stir in the black beans and salt and finish cooking for 15-25 minutes until the chili is tasty perfection. Add salt at the very end to taste.
