My husband would eat this chili every day if I’d let him. It’s been his birthday dinner of choice just about every year we’ve been married! It works out perfectly because he’s a November birthday, so the weather cools down and I feel like making soup.
I am so proud of these pictures that I had to re-blog this recipe. I love the steam rising up out of the soup (shoup in Ada’s words).
Makes you want to dive right in!
I got an exciting text from my sister-in-law, Alissa, a couple of weeks ago. She entered this recipe in her ward’s chili cook off and WON! Here’s a picture of her with her prize. So yes, this recipe is now officially award-winning, and I like the way that sounds. Look at cute little Eve bundled up on her momma, she is one month younger than my Lola.

I am trying this recipe with 2# of venison, cilantro, carrots, garlic, and a bit of balsamic vinegar. The venison has to be tamed:)
Sounds good!! Save me some ;)
