Preparation

1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic and sauté until onion softens, about 10 minutes.
2. Mix in chili powder, cumin, cayenne and oregano and stir for 2 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, broth, water and hominy. Bring chili to a boil, stirring occasionally.
