Chili Soups
Chili Soups are made with meat and beans.
Additional Items for a Variety of Flavors in Chili
To add heat – use hot sauce, pickled jalapenos or cayenne pepper.
To make the meat savory – add Worcestershire sauce.
Semi-sweet chocolate will add a faint hint of sweet and bitter. Plus, it has a richer taste.
Lime Juice and vinegar will add a tanginess.
Sugar, whether it be white, brown or a substitute, will add a sweetness.
Another tip – if your chili is too thin, try simmering with the lid off or add more beans, which adds starch to help thicken the soup.
