Comments: Lean toward health with this spunky vegetarian chili that is
loaded with carrots, zucchini, beans, and tomatoes . Minced garlic, chili
powder, ground cumin, and dried oregano help to give this chili a fun kick.
A cheddar and cream cheese topping provides a soothing touch. Try garnishing
this chili with green onion strips or tortilla chips for a different twist.
