Welcome to Soup Saturday Swappers...........



This month's Soup Saturday Swappers is being hosted by Karen who told us that July is National Chili Cook Off month and invited us to join her for a competition of our own.

Here are the selections.........

• Chimichurri Pork Chili from Culinary Adventures with Camilla
• Slow Cooker Chicken and Black Bean Chili from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Summer Veggie Chili from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Tomato-Free Ground Chicken and Red Lentil Chili from Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice
• Vegetable Chilli Garlic Soup from Sneha's Recipe

I actually think of Chili as more of a winter food.  I didn't know that July was National Chili Cook-off month until Karen told me.  We love Chili and eat it a lot but unless we are putting it on Coney hot dogs  it is normally enjoyed in the Fall and Winter.

Tailgate season brings on the first hankerings and I often cook up this 13 Bean Chili.  Sometimes I make chili with leftover salsa.  I have made it with Turkey, Beer, Chocolate, Italian Sausage, Pumpkin, Chicken and Venison.  But this recipe is still my go to and favorite.  But as you can none of these posts are during the summer months.

This intrigued me and I decided that we needed a Summer Chili in our lives.  I gathered up all of my favorite summertime veggie and sauteed them up with chili powder and cumin.  I added a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles and some pinto beans.  Dinner was ready in less than an hour and it was OH SO GOOD!

Thanks Karen, for getting me out of my Cold Weather Chili Rut!!  That is one of the things I love about this group.  It expands my horizons as members choose ingredients or themes each month for us to use in creating our soups/stews.  We would love to have you join us.  If you are a blogger who loves to experiment and have fun just email me at wendyklik1517@gmail.com and I will send you an invitation to join our group.  Next month we are making soups with fruit.  Talk about getting out of your comfort zone!!
