The following recipe is one of my favorites. It is modified very little
from Diet for a New World, by John Robbins (my favorite cookbook not
lowfat, but easily adaptable).

In a large pot, saute over medium heat the onion, carrots, celery, bell
pepper and garlic until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the spices and stir
for 30 seconds. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, and vegetable
stock. Cook, partially covered, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir
in the corn and cook for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves and serve.

One good way to serve the chili is with tortillas, salsa and sour cream.
