  • 1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Spices

    Stir in the chili powder and cumin, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

    This enhances the flavor of the spices.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Add the red kidney beans, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

    Ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
  4. Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom.
  5. Season and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed. Serve hot.

    Garnish with fresh herbs or avocado if desired.
