Saute onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in olive oil until crisp tender. Add chili powder and cumin, saute for a minute more. Add cans of crushed tomatoes and bring mixture to a boil -- add some tomato juice if the veggies are too thick. Rehydrate the textured soy protein; you can use water, and add fake chicken powder (available at your friendly neighborhood NFS!) to increase flavor. Add this to chili, along with the black beans (be sure to rinse canned beans). Simmer as long as you like (but at least 15 min). Add tomato juice (or water, if you're from texas and thus anti-tomato) because even rehydrated textured soy protein will soak up all the liquid. Add salt and pepper to taste, and Tabasco sauce can be yummy if you used mild chili powder. A half teastoon of balsamic vinegar is also good, if you think the chili needs more acid.
