Hearty and Delicious Beefy Chili Soup

"I find that this soup works best with only the chili macaroni flavor Hambuger Helper. This is a hearty soup that should be served as a main meal, with recipe#105726 or crusty buns on the side! Adust the chili powder and chili flakes to suit taste."

  1. This was delicious. It took a little over an hour from start to finish, so it's something you want to get started on early, but it was still a lot faster than most chili recipes. I drained most of the ingredients and added a can of beans to thicken it up. Great recipe, thanks for posting.
     
  2. This was easy and delicious! I did have the Chili Macaroni Hamburger Helper on hand so I used that flavor. I used chipotle chili powder so I eliminated the cumin and the jalapenos all together. Also I left out the green pepper since all I had for corn was Mexicorn which already has red and green peppers in it. I thought the sour cream was a perfect way to cool the heat a bit. Thanks for sharing, this made a nice lunch. Nick's Mom
     
  3. I really liked this alot. It's simple and tasty. I used a red bell pepper instead of green because that's what I had on hand, used all chicken broth, added the jalapeno, and left out the olives. Another winner, Kitten.
