Good vegetarian chili recipes?

Does anyone have a really good veg chili recipe? I know there are several vegetarians here on the board, so surely someone has a great tried-and-true recipe to share.

Thanks!

I have a good one but I'm not home right now. If I remember after work tonight, I'll post it.

I don't have a recipe per se; I make it up as I go along.

But I like to stir in a few tablespoons of couscous at the last minute. It gives a wonderful texture (not unlike ground beef)that makes it more like chili and less like soup.

I've had meat-lovers swear they don't miss the beef!

I make it with Smart Crumbles! There are some great packets of chili seasoning that you can get in (sometimes the Mexican foods section of) grocery stores. I think this one is my favorite...

I usually follow the recipe on the package, adding tomatoes and beans. You can add as much or little cayenne pepper as you want. A little goes a loooooooong way. For a meaty texture, I add the Smart Crumbles. People never know the difference.
