Vegetarian Black Bean Chili with English Farmhouse Cheddar (for 1+)

Jay’s bountiful Vegetarian Black Bean Chili starts with sauteed celery, onions, zucchini, carrots, roasted eggplant, bell peppers, and garlic, then we add crushed and stewed tomatoes, black beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, and parsley. Slow-cooked, not too spicy; actually,  just right!  Topped with shards of English Cheddar at the finish. #MondoVegetarian!
