Sunday Soup Series | Part 2 🍂🍲 Today’s cozy dinner is a hearty chili soup, paired with warm homemade cornbread 😋⬇️ Ingredients: (3-4 servings) 🍲 Chili - 1 lb ground beef (454g) - 1 medium yellow onion, diced (150g) - 4 cloves garlic, minced (12g) - 1 green bell pepper, diced (120g) - 1 15oz can crushed tomatoes (425g) - 1 10oz can Original Rotel (283g) - 1 15oz can tomato sauce (425g) - 1 15oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (425g) - 1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed (425g) - 1 1/2 - 2 cups beef broth (360–480g) - 2 tbsp tomato paste (32g) - 2 tbsp chili powder (16g) - 2 tsp smoked paprika (6g) - 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin (4g) - 1 tsp dried oregano (1g) - 1 tsp garlic powder (3g) - 1 tsp onion powder (3g) - 1 tsp salt (6g) - 1/2 tsp black pepper (1g) - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (15g) - 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (2g) 🧀 Optional Toppings - Shredded cheddar cheese - Sour cream - Pickled jalapeños - Green onions Instructions 1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if needed. 2. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. 3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. 4. Stir in the tomato paste and all the spices and seasonings listed above. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to bloom the spices and deepen the flavor. 5. Add the crushed tomatoes, Rotel, tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, broth, Worcestershire sauce and cocoa powder. (This adds richness, not a chocolate flavor.) Stir everything together until well combined. 6. Bring the chili to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer covered for 35–45 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If you want to simmer uncovered; the chili becomes thicker, covered retains the moisture for that soupier consistency.) 7. Serve warm with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and any other toppings desired. Enjoy with cornbread for the perfect cozy meal! 😋 #Chili #Recipe #AutumnVibes #SoupSeason #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive - @theperfectplate.x
