Vegan Chili

Today I went to visit my dear Grandparents.  My grandma has always made the best chili so today I wanted to combine the chili I grew up eating with a vegan version my mother makes with me.  It turned out quite delicious. 

Ingredients:
1 large can of V8 juice or tomato juice
1 can kidney beans (or about 2 cups cooked)
1 can black beans (or about 2 cups cooked)
1.5 cups whole wheat pasta
2 diced tomatoes
2 tblsp chili powder

Bring the juice to boil in a large pot.  Add the beans, and tomatoes.  Stir the chili powder with about a cup of water.  Once mixed, add it to the pot.  Then add the pasta.  Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tendor.  Remove from heat.  Add extra chili powder or salt to taste. 

This is great to make in large batches because it freezes very well.  I always have my mom make extra so I can take some to school with me and put it in the freezer.
