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.

* 2 	cloves garlic, minced

* 1 (19 	ounces) can white kidney beans, drained
* 1 (28 	ounces) can diced tomatoes
* 1 (14 	ounces) can tomato sauce
* 3 	medium carrots, sliced
* 2 	tablespoons chili powder
===Directions===

* Add tofu and saute until crisp and lightly browned (10 min).
* Add rest of ingredients (Beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, and chili powder).
