      Tasty chili in a flash. Not a veggie to be peeled and chopped, just open cans. I added like 1/4 cup diced green chilies.

      Not Wendy's chili but good. I believe that Wendy's chili has peppers in it and is a lot more soupy. This chili was thick, more like for topping hot dogs. I added more seasoning and some chicken bullion. This is easy and tasty, its a keeper. Thanks for posting!

      Oh wow....the family's new favorite chilli recipe. DH love Wendy's chili and so I just knew this would go over in a big way for him. I"ve never made chilid using french onion soup and so this must..it just must be the secret ingredient. I"m not a meat eater, but the smell was heavenly while this was simmering away on the stove-top. A real keeper Tink. Made for HolidayTag.

      OMG, I am amazed at how good this is, and how easy! Normally we add more spice, but this was great, I hardly had any leftovers for just the 2 of us. This is not bland at all, but it doesn't interfere with medication or the like (at this point at least.) Thanks for sharing this recipe, Tinkerbell! Made for Photo Tag.

      I entered a chili contest @ my church in 2006 and had never made chili before. So, I went on here to find a recipe and found this one. I looked over the ingredients list and said ok, found one. I made the chili and took it to the contest and won FIRST PLACE!!!!! In 2007 my church had another contest and I had to make my chili again and I won FIRST PLACE AGAIN! This is a GREAT Recipe!!!!!

      I used ground turkey but otherwise followed the recipe. I didn't process the onion soup and the whole thing was at a simmer in about 15 minutes. Loved how easy and quick it was to put together. Thanks!

      The recipe was good but I think it might have been missing some spices. It felt too tomatoey with the tomato paste and didn't have the kick I was expecting from Wendy's.

      I followed the recipe exactly. It was good and did seem somewhat like Wendy's Chili, but it seemed too thick and too tomato tasting. I believe this was due to the tomato paste. I am going to keep looking at other Wendy's Chili Clone recipes.

      Wow! This chili is great! I wouldn't change a thing! (I took everyone's advice and didn't puree the onion soup..came out perfect.) Thanks for sharing this recipe.

      A very quick and easy recipe. Also very good! I did not puree the soup and don't think it made any difference. I used just 1 pound of ground beef and doubled the amount of beans. A keeper! Thanks

      A keeper! Simple ingredients, quick to make, and DELICIOUS. No need to puree the French onion soup...it all blended together just fine. Perfect for a chilly December night! Thanks! My chili hunt is over.

      My church was having a Chili contest and I was asked to enter it b/c not many people had entered the contest, so I did. My husband said, have you ever made chili before and I said no and he started laughing. I was looking for a recipe and found this one and made it for the contest and out of 7 entries I won First Place and everyone loved it!!!!!! Great Recipe to make!!!!!!!!

      First let me say this is a great recipe...most of us sometime tweak things for own preference or with what we have on hand and I did just that. I used 2 lb gr. beef and did not puree the onion soup. instead of kidney beans I used a mix of chili bean and no beans chili. all else same. simmered a while and froze half. served with toasted cheese. thanks for a quick flexible recipe. oh so good!

      So easy and quick to make! and tasty too!!! I used 2 16 oz cans of kidney beans instead of 21 oz, and I didn't have tomato sauce so I used a 16 oz can of diced tomatoes, undrained. Everyone loved it! This is my chili recipe from now on!

      Not bad for something so quick and easy. I threw this together for my husband to eat while watching football. I used a 15 oz can of tomato sauce and a 12 oz can of tomato paste instead of using the smaller sized cans that the recipe calls for. And I used a smaller sized can of beans--probably around 15 oz. I haven't had Wendy's chili in a very long time, so I don't know how this compares, but this is a good, quick chili recipe that I would make again.

      What a nice twist on chili. I'm going to try the crushed tomatoes next time and maybe a little bit of bell pepper. I love the french onion soup in it!! Thanks!

      I was skeptical about using canned French Onion soup, but was very pleased with the results of this chili. I did not have tomato paste, so I used crushed tomatoes w/ puree, and it was great. I loved the cumin flavor, but did substitute Cayenne pepper for the black pepper, and also added a touch more chili powder as well as a TBS of salt (liquid from the tomatoes probably diluted it a bit). Keeper recipe. I'll make this when I don't have 4 hours to simmer my other recipe.
