soup

My simple formula for a long-simmering chili. Makes 10-12 generous servings

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. ground turkey (chicken or beef works too)
  • 2 yellow onions
  • 2 heads Garlic
  • 2 jalapenos (optional)
  • 5 cans diced tomatoes
  • 5 cans beans (I usually use 2 black, 1 kideny, 1 pinto, 1 chili)
  • 1+ tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1+ Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt

Method

  • In a large pot, brown the ground turkey with about a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
  • Add diced onions, minced garlic, and optional diced jalapenos. Sautee until onions are slightly translucent.
  • Drain the of beans, and add along with the tomatoes and stir.
  • Add 1 Tbsp chili powder (or more to tate), a generous sprinking of garlic powder, and salt.
  • Stir and simmer on medium for an hour, then reduce to medium-low for as long as you like (usually 2-4 hours).
  • Season to taste with more chili powder and cayenne.
