This chili recipe is free from all of the common allergens AND it is free of Nightshades (tomato, potato, peppers, chilis, paprika, eggplant) another relatively common food allergen.

-1 can black beans
-1 can kidney beans
-2 cans chicken or broth (note: Progresso broth uses Green Peppers)
-2 tbsp canola oil
-1 small onion, chopped
-6 cloves of garlic, diced
-2 large carrots, chopped
-1 celery stalk, chopped
-1 tbsp turmeric
-1 tbsp cumin
-1/2 tsp ground clove
-1/2 tsp coriander
-salt & pepper to taste
-1 lb meat (we mix it up with a different meat every time. Beef sauteed in bite size pieces, roasted chicken or pork work great. We have also used Venison and ground turkey. Use whatever you have handy.

Saute veggies and meat in oil until onions and meat are slightly browned. Add all ingredients into a crockpot and cook on low 6-8 hours.
