Loaded Chili Soup
This chili soup has everything you need to keep you feeling full and satisfied when you need it: protein, vegetables, grains, avocado and olive oil fats and a dollop of sour cream dairy.
What sets our version apart is that we’ve used a special blend of fragrant long grain jasmine rice and quinoa together. It gives the chili extra protein and hearty grains. To top it off, one of the best parts about our chili is that it’s a one-pot meal, meaning less clean up and it’s ready in no time! Make sure to add it to your list of weeknight one-pot meals with rice.
Although it is a classic, this chili soup is also very versatile, so make it work for you and your taste buds. We’ve used kidney beans, but they can be replaced with black beans, pinto beans or Great Northern beans. Swap in ground beef or chicken, and broth of choice.
