  6. 1 tablespoon chili powder
  7. 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
  8. 8 ounces vegetable broth
  9. 1 teaspoon salt
  10. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  11. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  12. 1 large carrot peeled and diced

Toppings
  1. Monterey Jack cheese or Feta

Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until tender and golden. Add the garlic and poblano pepper and sauté another minute until fragrant. Add the cumin and chili powder and sauté another 2 minutes.
  2. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in the crushed tomatoes and broth (reserve 1/4 cup of broth), scraping to remove any browned bits in the pan. Add the remaining ingredients except the cornstarch and toppings.
  3. In a small bowl whisk together the reserved 1/4 cup broth and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the chili pot. Stir until well mixed. Bring chili to a boil for 2 minutes and then lower heat to low. Simmer over low heat for 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Serve with your choice of toppings.
