Steps

1

Chop the onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery
2

Warm olive oil until shimmering on medium heat in a heavy pot
3

Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes.
4

Add the garlic, chilli powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
5

Add the diced tomatoes with juices, drained black beans, drained pinto beans, drained corn, vegetable broth, and the bay leaf. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a simmer. Continue cooking stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, for 30 minutes.
6

Remove the chilli from the heat and discard the bay leaf. For the best texture and flavor, transfer 1 1/2 cups of the chilli to a blender, making sure to get some of the liquid portion. Blend until smooth, then pour back into the pot.
7

Add the chopped cilantro and stir to combine
8

Mix in the vinegar to taste and add salt to taste.
