Need an easy one pot meal to warm you up on these cold wintry nights? This is just the thing! So savory and comforting and delicious! This chili will warm you from the inside out. Best part is that it’s so easy to make and you just throw everything into one big pot and stir every so often. It’s a great meal to make while you are getting your last minute preparations together for Christmas.
This is my mom’s recipe and the first time I made it years ago, I added in the cheese too early and didn’t stir the pot often enough and the bottom got burned. Which wouldn’t have been so bad except I scraped the bottom with the spoon and it got stirred up into the soup. Worst part is Adam & I still tried to eat it and all you could taste was the burnt flavor. Ever since I can not get him to try it again. Well, I was making dinner for my mom & stepdad and brother and I decided to make this for them. My little way of sneakily getting Adam to try it again. He actually liked it! I think he still may have a few bad memories from the first time but I think I won him over, haha! I can’t wait to make this chili again!

TODAY IS A RECORD COLD DAY SINCE 1942, -40 WIND CHILLS… I PICKED THIS SOUP TO KEEP US WARM. THANKS!
Hope you enjoy Sarah! Stay warm!:)
Have you ever tried making this with something besides cream of chicken soup? I am on a sodium restricted diet and all canned soups are so high in sodium, I try to avoid them. I will try to find a low sodium alternative to try. otherwise, this looks like a great recipe and I am anxious to try it. thank you.
I have not, but here is a recipe for homemade cream of mushroom soup and the directions for making it into cream of chicken are at the bottom of the recipe directions. It uses low sodium chicken broth and you can also omit the salt if needed: http://www.macaroniandcheesecake.com/2012/02/homemade-cream-of-mushroom-soup.html Hope that helps and hope you enjoy Debbie!
