The weather is cooling down and this is such a perfect hearty healthy meal. Makes me think of a Seinfeld episode I saw a few days ago when Jerry and Elaine are arguing over whether or soup is a meal..and it depends on if its hearty or if its a bowl or a cup. Great episode.. Well this soup Jerry is a freaking meal. I won't be a soup nazi..soup for you!
The nice thing about chili is that you can kind of just kick back and let it work its own magic. Vegetable and meat worlds collide into this perfect marriage of hearty goodness while you just sit back and do whatever gnarly thing is that you do and then you come back to find perfection just waiting for you. Hi perfection, you are delicious! I usually won't touch leftovers with a ten foot pole but this ...now this I would get involved with. As should you.
Feed the hungry with this hearty bowl of perfection.
