Here is how you make Vegan Chili with Bulgar (soy-free):

Drain and rinse your beans. Defrost the corn under cool running water in a strainer. Dump beans and UNDRAINED tomatoes into a large pot. Add your seasoning packet and the amount of water the pouch calls for. Add additional dry spices (cayenne, thyme, oregano, etc.) to taste. Stir well. Cook until warm and then add your bulgar wheat. This will cook to a meaty consistency and add some nice texture/nutrition to the chili. Add the corn last. Stir well. Cover and simmer on low-medium until the bulgar is cooked and all the veggies are warmed through. If the bulgar is sucking up too much of your liquid, add some extra water to compensate.I like to taste the chili at this point and see how it's doing. If it's a bit bland, I like to add some balsamic vinegar to add an "acid" to the flavor and add some additional seasonings - extra cayenne/chili powder, garlic granules, etc. Some unsweetened cocoa powder adds a nice depth of flavor, too. Sounds odd but it works!It's a pretty forgiving, solid base for chili, so feel free to go wild and add whatever you think it needs. Makes about 12 1-cup servings.
