Hearty Vegetarian Tofu Chili

== Description ==
This is a delicious colourful chili with a perfect blend of many vegetables with tofu in a thick spicy tomato base. This original recipe came from Runner's World magazine, although I have altered it to suit my likings. Frying tofu gives it a more meat like texture. For those who like chili very spicy, more chili powder may be added.

* 1 (28 	ounces) can diced tomatoes
* 1 (14 	ounces) can tomato sauce
