Ingredients

  • About 6 cans of beans drained OR 6 cups of dried white and black beans, soaked, plus 1 can kidney beans [see note]
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes
  • 3.5 cups broth
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn
  • 6 celery stalks diced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Liquid Smoke
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 cloves minced garlic or garlic gold nuggets
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder optional but increases the depth!
  • 1 tsp salt if your broth is relatively low sodium - otherwise to taste

Instructions

  • Soak dried beans overnight, if using. Rinse.
  • Chop celery.
  • Add all ingredients to a crockpot and set to low for 6-8 hours.

Notes

I've read that dried kidney beans have a toxin and have to be boiled if cooked from dried form and that the crockpot doesn't allow the toxin to escape so I used a can of these instead of dried. Not sure if this is 100% confirmed, but being safe!
