FFF 2 BEAN CHILI

I have been cooking up a storm this past week...
I'm testing recipes and developing recipes for my catering, and hopefully future restaurant.
I've made sooo many different kinds of meatballs this week, I have meatballs to last me a lifetime in the freezer...
I had to make bread for my 5th graders "Missions Week" and their country of study this year was France, so Johnny asked me to make
'Pain d'Epi" (bread shaped like a wheat stalk) for his class... so I made three of them.

I made a 2 bean meatless chili this week... twice... and I thought I'd share my version of it with you...
Enjoy...
***
4 cups any kind of stock you like
2 cans of stewed tomatoes or whole canned tomatoes,
squished with fingers to break them up a little.
2 cups frozen corn
2 handsful of frozen green beans
2 cans of beans, white, kidney, black... whatever floats your boat
2 tsp taco seasoniong mix
1 can fire roasted green chilis
1 cup salsa
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
You can add chicken or beef to this if you want...
I add meatballs after the fact...if anyone wants them... I eat this soup meatless because I only eat protein in my midday meal...
Throw everything together in a pot except the green beans and cook for 20-30 minutes... then add green beans so they don't turn grey from over cooking...
Oh yeah... I LOVE adding shredded cabbage to the soup too...before the green beans... with all the rest of the ingredients..
***
Sometimes I make cornbread to serve with it...
We place a square in a bowl, and ladle over the soup and top with cilantro and crushed up tortilla chips and shredded cheese...
SOOOO GOOD!

Enjoy!!!
