Thanks Juanita!! So glad you liked it 🙂
Another one to make ….is the one Tbsp chili powder correct …sound like a lot … appreciate your notes about the broth …now I have to find the chili recipe ….
Hey Sharon,
Thanks again for commenting. Yes, that’s right, the 1 Tbsp of chili powder is how our family likes it. But you can always cut it in half, wait till it’s simmered a bit and taste test – add more if you like😄
Kind regards,
April
