Substitute
For a more authentic meatless version, prepare as directed using canned vegetable broth.
Make Ahead
Chili is great when made the day before. Cool, then cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to blend. To reheat, spoon into saucepan and cook on medium-low heat until heated through, stirring frequently.
Best of Season
Prepare as directed, using whatever fresh vegetables are in season. If yellow squash is unavailable, use 2 zucchini instead. Or, if you don't like eggplant, substitute 3 cups of your favorite chopped vegetables for the eggplant.
