Super Easy Veggie Chili

raspberryjello's Note:

Something i threw together for my kids. Being allergic to tomatoes, I haven't tasted this and don't know how strong the spices are, but my 3 and 5 year olds love it! Sometimes I add diced veggies (like zucchini, and mushrooms), but often i leave them out and just serve this 'as is' with steamed vegetables on the side.
