Chili recipes, Chili con carne recipe, Hearty soup recipes


Chili recipes could be classified as the most interesting of all recipes worldwide. There does not seem to be any well known origination of this dish. I always thought it came from Mexico but I am being told they do not want the credit for THIS ONE. It seems they are not too impressed with our chili. Many think it is a cheap way to produce a large volume of food by using a little meat and other cheap ingredients.



Even the name of chili recipes can cover a soup recipe, chili con carne recipe, one of many hearty soup recipes or even a stew recipe. There are so many different recipes for this dish and even names. I think no two people make it the same way. It is unbelievable how many different ingredients that I have found being used in the making. Below is a list of some possible ingredients for your chili.

There is a big disagreement over the use of beans in chili. Some people and even areas get very upset over recipes that call for any kind of beans. They claim that beans are not in the original recipe. But what is the original recipe? Does anyone know?


People argue over the texture of chili. Some think it should be smooth, others like the chunkiness of chopped meats and beans. There is also a big disagreement on the thickness of this product. The descriptive words range from soup recipes, hearty soup recipes or even stew dishes.


The chili cookoffs rank at the top of all food contests. The people involved in these are very serious about their recipes and the ingredients that they use. The organizers and judges take their jobs seriously also. The aroma, appearance and texture are important along with the very important taste of the end product.


Some believe you cannot reach the taste of excellence without hours of cooking. I would not classify myself as one of those chili professionals but I do like good chili. I like it thicker, more like a stew than a soup. I prefer it a little spicy and red in color.




Do you know where Chili Recipes began?

There seems to be a controversy about where the Chili Recipe orginated from. Share your versions about its beginning or just share a good chili recipe!
