Add the TVP, broth, and soy sauce to a bowl and let soak for 10 to 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
While the TVP is soaking, prep all of your other ingredients. This includes dicing the pepper and onion and mincing the garlic.
Heat a large pot over medium-high. Add the TVP and any leftover liquid, along with the onion, garlic, sweet paprika, and salt. (A tablespoon of oil is optional but not necessary). Mix to combine and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions start to soften.
Add the green pepper, mix to combine, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, until the peppers start to soften.
Add the rest of the chili ingredients, mix to combine, and turn the heat down to medium. Cook covered, stirring occasionally for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Taste to adjust seasonings. Serve and enjoy right away!
14 oz of crumbled super firm tofu can be substituted for the TVP. The tofu won't absorb all of the liquid, but you can add any leftover liquid to the pot and it will cook down with the onions and garlic in step 3.
