    Ok, I bought a bag of kidney beans instead of the can. Do I have to soak them first?

    Also, can I just use a regular recipe and leave out the meat?

    Yes, you really should. This helps explain why. :)

    Thanks! My hubby has Crohn's and he can't eat chili. But I love to eat it once in a while in the winter. I was thinking that I might make a batch just for lunches and bought dry beans and chili powder at the store. I haven't made it in so long!

    That's a great link! I was just thinking that a vegetarian chili would be good for lunches instead of using up our "dinner meats" for it.

    Easy, Cheap, Low-Cal, Low-Carb Chili (only 5 ingredients!)

    * 1 lb lean ground turkey
    * 1 medium onion
    * 1 medium can (14 oz) tomato sauce
    * 1 large can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
    * 3-4 tbsp chili powder (more or less to taste)

    * Brown onion and turkey in large pan.
    * Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, and chili powder.
    * Simmer.

    Once it cooled a little, I split it into 4 tupperware containers and voila- 4 meals ready to go!
