Usually, I crave for soups in Winter and I dare to experiment different kinds of soups. When the hot Summer arrives, I seldom make soups and my focus will be on making cool salads and drinks. However, today in the evening I started thinking about Chili, it was a pleasantly hot day today. A bowl of Chili soup has\u00a0always given me the needed comfort and made me feel content. First, I went for a quick grocery shopping and bought all the ingredients needed to make the chili: ground beef, red kidney beans, pickled jalape\u00f1os etc. Making chili is so easy, it&#8217;s a one pot meal and all you have to do is to throw all the ingredients into a large pot and simmer it for an hour. Literally, you don&#8217;t have to do any work, by the time you feel hungry the hot chili soup will be ready to be served.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very thick soup, and the spice level can be adjusted according to your needs. While serving, it&#8217;s topped with minced onion, jalape\u00f1os and lots of cheddar cheese. You could also make burritos by filling this into a tortilla. It&#8217;s that yummy that you feel like having a few bowls of this soup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15603\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/chili.jpg\" alt=\"chili mexican style\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/chili.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/chili-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/chili-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking ground beef<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15604\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making_chili.jpg\" alt=\"making_chili\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making_chili.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making_chili-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making_chili-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Making Chili<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15605\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili.jpg\" alt=\"making-chili\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>After 30 minutes of cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15606 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili-with-beans.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili-with-beans.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili-with-beans-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/making-chili-with-beans-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/chili-soup.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Easy Chili Soup &#8211;
