Smoky Veggie Chili

Super easy, super healthy, and rave reviews from Scott and Amelia. Another "cut out of a magazine, tiny square recipe" I've saved for who-knows-how long. I'm surprised that these are actually turning out well, but they are...so no complaints from me! I do always have to double the recipe, because these recipes seem to be geared toward single "all I have time for is work and working out and therefore have to have super easy/healthy recipes always on hand" kind of people. So for my family of three, I have to double. This is kind of a mexican-y/southwest type chili that you serve over rice, so you get plenty of carbs to (which always seem to be "missing" for me when I'm pregnant).
