Ingredients
- 1 onion, diced I used yellow, white or red also work
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 1 cup corn
- 1 large carrot peeled and diced
- 1 serrano pepper with seeds for lots of spice, without for less spice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 15 ounce cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 1 can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp + 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- ¾ cup vegetable broth
Instructions
- Add the diced onion, garlic and olive oil to the instant pot and press the saute function. Saute for 5 minutes or until the garlic starts to brown.
- Add in the bell pepper, carrot, celery and serrano pepper. Saute an additional 5 minutes.
- Add in all remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- Set the instant pot to manual high pressure for 10 minutes and put the lid on sealing. It'll take about 10 minutes to come to pressure.
- When it's done, let it release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully set the valve to venting and remove the lid when it finishes releasing.
- Stir well, then taste and adjust flavors as desired. Transfer 3 cups worth to a blender and blend until mostly smooth with a few chunks. Transfer back and stir. Serve with fresh cilantro, sour cream, avocado, chips and/or cornbread!
Notes
I recommend using crushed tomatoes for best results, but if you only have diced or chopped tomatoes, that will work too. Plain tomato sauce also works!
I didn't use any serrano pepper seeds and the chili was pretty mild. If you like spice, you can use all of the seeds in the pepper or just add more serrano pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
