In yesterday’s soup post, I showed you how to make breakfast egg soup, which was pretty good in my opinion

Umm.. let’s see and try to remember what other soup is in media…

Uhh..

Hmm..

Oh!

So in Marvel’s Endgame, right at the beginning when we see Thanos, he’s making soup I guess

There, you happy?

Soup

Chili

This is one of my favorite soups to cook, honestly. When I started to live on my own for the first time in college, cans of chili were so cheap at the grocery store, and I loved to buy a few and always add more ingredients for more flavor

This recipe will not be using any chili cans, however. Just ingredients

What you will need

• Hamburger meat
• Chili beans
• Diced tomato
• Corn
• Onion
• Garlic
• Beef stock
• Jalapeño
• Bacon bits
• Paprika
• Cumin
• Chili powder
• Cayenne Pepper
• Oregano
• Sugar (optional)

Dice up the onion and set aside for later

I used a WHOLE onion this time because I’m wanting leftovers for sure

Cook and break up your pound of hamburger meat

I personally added some of Freddy’s seasoning to the meat to flavor it up a bit before adding it to the chili

I don’t think it’s too necessary, but I thought it might taste good, and apparently Freddy’s has their amazing salt in little take home packets now??

Drain your meat

I left mine sitting there in the sink for a bit while I went back to the onions

In a large pot, layer the bottom with olive oil, and add the onions

Sauté for a few minutes until they start to be clear

(I also think it would be better with red onions, but I didn’t have any at the time)

Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes

Add your broth, beans, tomatoes, and corn

Bring to a boil, and occasionally stir

While boiling, chop up your jalapeño

I personally decided to leave in most of the seeds because I like spicy foods, and the rest of the ingredients will bury most of the spice anyway

Once the soup has boiled for a bit, add in your meats: the hamburger and bacon

Reduce the heat to a low simmer, so the soup can thicken

Add all your spices (minus oregano)

There is no set measurement on how much of the spices are needed, but I added a lot, and often taste-tested it, and thought it needed even more

This is actually my own recipe, and I’m not measuring a thing, just doing everything based on flavor, so it’s a personal preference on how much spice you want to add

I also decided to add a bit of sugar in my chili

Not as much as the other spices, but I personally think it gives it a nice sweetness to all the spice

Continue stirring and letting the chili thicken

When close to serving, add the jalapeño bits and oregano, and mix together

Feel free to do a taste test again and see if more spices need to be added

And there you go! My own chili recipe

I also added some saltines and cheddar cheese to reduce the heat and add more thickness to the chili, and I think it turned out really well

Chili is great

Hope you enjoyed your chili, and I’ll see you tomorrow with the next soup recipe!
