Soups & Stews #4

Chili and Taco Soup

Our favorite Chili is one I call Church Chili--cuz we got the recipe from a lady at a church dinner.



Church Chili
2 lbs.  Hamburger
1 medium onion
4 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of pinto beans
2 TBSP chili powder
2 tsp. Cumin
1tsp of garlic powder
salt, pepper
1-2 jalapeno peppers cut, leave seeds in
3 cans of whole tomatoes
Add a bit of water if it seems too thick. 

Throw everything in a Dutch Oven or stock pot and simmer for 2 hours, until beans are soft. You can also omit the hamburger if you want.


Taco Soup
