This spring has been suuuper chilly.

We’ve literally been riding our bikes in our winter boots – no joke.

And as we all know, scientists have found through conducting double-blind, multi-centre, placebo controlled studies that when chilly weather hits, humans crave warming meals.

Just kidding! It’s just a fact we all know.

Who gets revved-up about a salad with a salmon fillet until it hits at least 20 degrees Celsius a couple days in a row!?

Answer: no one.

Plus, you can make it on a weeknight! No fussy prep or cooking here. Just a one-pot meal that really satisfies.

Notes

Want to boost the greens and nutrition in this one? Grate a large zucchini in a few minutes before you serve it.
Usually, the broth I buy comes in 900ml container. I'll use 1/2 of the container (tetra-pack) for this recipe and then save the rest in the fridge for re-heating the leftovers of the chili. I'll add some broth to make it thinner if needed.

      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
