Method
1
Mince the garlic cloves and dice the sweet white onions into small pieces.
2
Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the minced garlic and diced onions, stirring occasionally until the onions become translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
3
Add the chopped bell pepper, carrots, and celery to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion mixture and cooking for 3 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.

Pour in the water and add both packages of vegetarian chili mix, stirring thoroughly to dissolve the mix completely into the liquid.

Add both cans of red kidney beans (with their liquid), the can of hunts tomato paste, and the can of crushed tomatoes, stirring well to incorporate all ingredients.
6
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper, mixing until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pot.
7
Add the two cans of sliced mushrooms (with their liquid) and the Tabasco sauce, stirring to combine all components.

Increase heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer the chili, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
