Supper for a Rainy Day: Chili Soup
With school starting and family members going in every direction, the number one question of the night is: What’s for dinner? I cook home-cooked meals for my family every night. We save money by not going out to eat. And by having a menu planned for each week, the trips to the grocery store are less frequent.
Brown one pound of ground beef with a half of a chopped onion.
Add 1 small can of Contadina tomato paste, 1 can of Brooks chili mild beans, and 1 can of Del Monte Mexican Stewed Tomatoes (cut up). Add one can of water for each canned ingredient. Then add 1-2 tablespoons of chili powder (according to your taste).
Here’s the secret ingredients:
Then add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a splash or two of soy sauce.
Simmer for 1-2 hours (the longer the better).
Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped onions if you’d like.
Have crackers on hand and let the eating begin.
This recipe is great for a family of 4.
