In a large stock pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once hot, toss in your onions and cook for 7-8 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Season the onions with salt and pepper. Add the green pepper and parsnips and sauté for another 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir together. Toss in the mushrooms and beans, give the pot a stir and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Season the pot with chopped parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
Add the pureed tomatoes and water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 30 minutes over medium-low heat.
Slice your baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and toast in the oven. Ladle your chili into bowls and serve with warm bread.
