Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup apple juice
2 cups onion -- chopped
1/2 cup carrots -- chopped
1/2 cup celery -- chopped
3 cloves garlic -- minced
2 teaspoons cumin
4 teaspoons chili powder (or to taste)
4 cups canned black beans, drained

In a large dutch oven over medium high heat, bring the apple juice to a boil.
Add onions, saute, stirring 2 minutes. Add celery, carrots, garlic, cumin,

Add black beans (or beans/tvp), honey or sugar, chilies, and tomatoes.
Increase heat to high; cover pot and bring chili to boil. Reduce heat,
simmer, covered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust heat so chili
is cooking rapidly, but not scorching.
Adjust seasonings, adding remaining chili powder if desired. Dish into bowls
and serve with a dollop of yogurt. Serves 4-6
