Hello Chili con Carne! Did you grow up with Chili on the weekly meal rotation? I certainly did and I was never a huge fan of the dish until I tried it with dried chiles as the foundation. Using dried chiles will give you a massive upgrade in flavor and will most likely put this…

Easy Calabacitas Soup
This easy Calabacitas Soup is a combo of three of my favorite creations on the site: Souper Broth — a tomato-onion-garlic broth that’s wildly satisfying and acts as the base for Albondigas Soup and Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Sopa de Fideo (Mexican Noodle Soup)
Sopa de Fideo is a surprisingly common noodle soup that you’ll frequently find served up with Comida Corrida down in Mexico. I think it’s best served completely unadorned and relying on just a few key ingredients, but if you want to add in some additional veggies it will definitely accommodate you. It’s also a great showcase…

Add in some potatoes and carrots, and even a handful of rice, and you’ve got a hearty, satisfying meal that reaches far beyond the limelighting meatballs. There’s lots of…
