Best. Chili. Ever.

In our house we love big, hearty soups.

And chili is no exception.

I'm the type of person that's never made the same chili twice.

But, after this one I may have to start.

Not to toot my own horn, but this was really good.

And if you don't believe me, here's evidence from Mister when he finished off the leftovers while I was at dinner with friends.

See? It must be good if Mister said so!
(just don't tell his mom because she makes some pretty darn good chili herself!)

I loosely started with this from Skinnytaste and kept adding.

Best Chili Ever (according to Mister)

Ingredients: 

Olive oil
1 lbs ground turkey

1 onion, diced

Red wine (a splash for the meat and enough for a glass or two for you)

1 large sweet potato, chopped

1 can black beans, drained

1 can kidney beans, drained

1 can diced tomatoes (chili ready)

1 can 8oz tomato sauce

1 can crushed tomatoes (large)

salt to taste

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp everyday seasoning (Trader Joes, could omit)

1 cup cooked quinoa (optional)
1 bay leaf 

1. Coat bottom of soup pot or Dutch oven with olive oil.  Add diced onions and ground turkey.  Cook until onions are translucent and meat is browned.  Add a splash of red wine.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients.
3. Let simmer for about 30 minutes (or more if you can!), remove the bay leaf and ENJOY!

Delicious and easy! 

With the threat of super cold temperatures and snow (!) in our parts, you can bet this chili will be appearing in our kitchen again very soon!
