Mom's Chili Soup

Yesssss. Chili Soup. If you have never had this then you are missing out. Big time. This is a great soup to make when serving a large group because it makes a lot, it isn't spicy, but it's a great chili. Everyone loves it. This is a recipe my Mom made up after having something similar at a restaurant once. Also- if you have a Save-A-Lot near you, please buy ALL the ingredients there. It sounds crazy but it makes a HUGE difference when you don't.
