Total time: 2 h 55 min
Yield: 6-8 servings.
Ingredients: 1 pound dried kidney beans; 9 cups water; 1-1/2 pounds ground beef; 1 large onion, chopped; 3 cans (16 ounces each) stewed tomatoes; 1 can (29 ounces) tomato puree; 2 cans (4 ounces each) green chilies; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1/8 cup dried parsley flakes; 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes; 1 tablespoon dried oregano; 2 teaspoons ground cumin; Salt and pepper to taste

Served with hot homemade bread, this makes a delicious meal on a cold day. If you prefer dishes that are mild or if you don't have green chilies on hand, this soup is also good without them.—Jane Seeling, Keene, New Hampshire

Very Good Chili! I didn't have the green chiles or stewed tomatoes, so I substituted 2 cans of Rotel and 2 large cans of crushed tomatoes....very tasty!
