1 diced medium onion
6 crushed cloves of garlic
2 diced large carrots

1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
2 tsp italian seasoning

1 14 oz can of black beans
1 14 oz can of white beans
1 14 oz can of pinquito beans
1 28 oz can of roasted diced tomatoes
1 packet of frozen corn
1 4 oz can of jalapeno chilies
3 tbl of tomato paste

3 chopped large mushrooms

Heat oil in large saucepan until hot.
Add red pepper, onion, garlic and carrot to pan and heat (medium to hot) for 8 minutes.
Add spices to pan, stir and heat for 2 minutes.
Add beans, tomatoes, corn, jalapeno chilies and tomato paste to pan and simmer for 15 minutes.

Looks good, but I must say that using canned beans is not making chili "from scratch." I was searching for "vegetarian chili from scratch" because I wanted to make the beans myself. But thanks for the recipe.

Fair comment. By "scratch" I really meant without using a recipe.
