HEARTY TEX-MEX CHILI SOUP



Hearty Tex-Mex Chili Soup image

This is a fantastic soup! It's easy and it's a one pan meal. I like to switch types of beans, kidney, black, pinto, even black eyed. You can make it hotter, or use less pepper sauce for milder. I like to use the hot pepper flakes when I make mine. I hope you will enjoy this chili soup, and that you make it often.

TEXAS CHILI



Texas Chili image

Chili tastes are highly personal, often inflexible and loaded with preconceptions - the political party of culinary offerings. "I don't disagree with anyone's chili," Robb Walsh, a Texas food historian, the author of "The Tex-Mex Cookbook" and a restaurateur, told The Times. "If you are making a one-pot meal and you want to put beans in it, that's fine. If chili is part of your cuisine, like Tex-Mex, there are other things you will want to do." This recipe is an amalgam of styles, with coffee and chocolate for complexity, hot sauce for kick and beans just because.
