It's Autumn and a Vegetarian Chili

It's Fall Y'all!
We seem to start a little later here in Southern California but
I'm beginning to feel it in the air and mornings have been crisp!
Fall to me screams warm soups and making bread!
I was looking through a local newspaper insert
and found this delicious (and healthy) vegetarian chili recipe.
Tomato Lentil Chili
served from my ever-faithful Le Crueset pot (stove to table!)
and served in lion head bowls from Sur Le Table.
Pick up a bowl (and spoon!) and enjoy!
This recipe includes bulgur along with the lentils for
a quick-cooking, high-fiber vegetarian chili that is perfect for fall!
I used Schilling's Mexican-Style Chili Powder which has a
respectable punch of heat, but I like it hot! so I added a bottle
of El Pato hotsauce on the side to add additional heat!
So let's bring out our Fall decorations and enjoy a great bowl of chili!
Do you have a favorite soup or chili recipe for Fall?

    Your window treatments intrigue me. I'm looking for inspiration for my living room. Do you have anymore pictures that show the rest of the window?
