Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large wide saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic and seasonings. Stir frequently until onions have softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer to develop flavors, at least 30 minutes. Stir often.

Step 3

Then, coarsely chop peppers and coriander and stir in along with beans. Add salt, if you wish. Cook, uncovered, until peppers are as you like, about 10 more minutes. Chili can be refrigerated up to 3 days or
frozen.
