We had our first real snow day this week! We love soup on a snowy day. I came up with this recipe over the holidays. I call it “chili stew” aka “what’s left in the pantry and deep freezer”. I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. And all of my kids loved the flavor. This “meat and potatoes” recipe is a great comfort food after a cold day. Frosty approves.
