Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 1 8-ounce package tempeh, diced
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 4-ounce can sliced green chilis
• 1 15 ounce can kidney beans or chili beans
• 1 8 ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 1 small can corn (optional)
• fresh cilantro to garnish (optional)

Using one tablespoon of olive oil, sauté tempeh until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add soy sauce, and sauté another minute or two, until soy sauce is sticky and dissolved. Set aside.
In a large soup or stock pot, sauté the onions, garlic and bell peppers in the remaining olive oil until just barely soft.
Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients, except cilantro and including the tempeh.
Allow to simmer for at least twenty minutes and up to forty minutes, stirring occasionally, and adding a bit more liquid as needed.
Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh minced cilantro.
