Delicious

Made this for the first time, I used hamburger because I already had it thawed out, it was delicious! My husband had seconds!
Timothy Smith
We really liked this soup! We did add salt and used all cubes chicken instead of turkey. I would use a diced tomato next time instead of stewed. I cut back on the chili powder and didn’t add the jalapeño since I don’t like a lot of heat. Great flavors!

Update: Still a favorite! This is a great chili that takes a lot of chopping though. We also love it with beef instead of chicken and turkey. So good!

Steven Sanders
Good chili recipe! I added some garlic in water along w a little more salt. Consistency came out great and we served over rice w fresh cornbread on the side. Really good.
Peter Dixon
This is super yummy and very easy to make

It tastes good but it was too watery. I was looking for a thicker base and didn’t get it with this recipe. 
Matthew Turner
If you’re browning the meat anyway, why not cook the celery, peppers, and onions that way first, too, for more flavor. Good recipe all the same! For more flavor add more cumin, some cayenne and more jalepeños, etc.

This was Delicious! I made the tomatoe sauce from scratch.  As well as the broth from boiling the chicken.

No taste! Had to add lots of tabasco along sausage and then top it with cheese to get some flavor.
