Directions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell peppers, zucchinis, and garlic, sauté until the vegetables are softened.
Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well so the vegetables are coated with the spices.
Add the kidney beans, black beans, and diced tomatoes along with the juice to the pot.
Pour in the vegetable broth. Let the mixture come to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
