    Way to watery I couldn't even eat it I tripled check this recipe to make sure I made it right. I feel it needs tomato in order to make it a better chili. - 5/19/09

    Have this in the crock pot on high. Plan to turn down after an hour and leave on low all day till grandbabies are ready to eat ;>) I used 1 lb of dry beans which I think is the key to success with this recipe but then I am old and used to cooking from scratch - 2/7/09

    I think the key to this recipe is that you need to start with dried beans. I used Anasazi dried beans. I cooked them for 45 minutes first & then added the other ingredients & cooked for another 45 minutes. I added ch. celery, 3 Tbsp. BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup of pulled pork & doubled the seasonings. - 8/10/09

    This recipe should be taken out of the meal planners. The proportions are way off, leaving a watery soup. - 7/18/09

    I had to change this recipe to love it. I used half the amount of water, which also decreased cooking time. I used canned beans (two) and drained the liquid. Note: Using canned beans hikes up the sodium A LOT! I added about 1-2 tbsps of ketchup and it was perfect! I could eat this everyday. - 7/12/09

    I was pleasantly surprised at how good this tasted. I did add more spices, the ones I usually add - while still trying to maintain low sodium. I didn't drain all of the liquid from the beans, and I didn't use all of the water.

    I've made it twice now and will make it at least once a month. - 5/25/09

    This was very tasty. I didn't have any chilis and added green salsa instead. Also added some chili powder as I feel the spicier the better. It was a little watery, more on the thick soup side, but I thought it was great for lunch and will definitely make again. - 5/13/09

    I read the comments while this was cooking. It was on the menu for lunch. I'm not into chili,but, I was willing to give it a try. It's not chili, too watery. I took top off of pot, mashed some beans, and added spinach (fresh). It thickened up bit. It's a soup. Not too good. - 3/27/09

    I made this last night. Had not read the comments. I used 3 cups of Chicken broth and maybe 3 cups of water and I thought... this does not look anything like Chili. Added another can of beans and cooked for a long time. It finally thickened up. Added diced chicken. Better the next day! - 3/11/09

    It was not what I expected. I did heat the garlic and onion in a very small amount of olive oil first, and I cut back on the amount water. Next time I will probably cut back even more. The flavor was really good though. - 5/18/08

    PLEASE take it off the menu plan. I too thought I'd done something wrong. Unfortunate waste of money. Even as a "bean soup" it is sadly lacking. - 10/24/09

    I started with dry navy beans and soaked them overnight. And I used less water than recipe calls for, because I could see when measuring 8 cups was going to be too much. I went a little heavier on the spices. Easy to make..I used the brown rice setting on my digital rice cooker. - 7/28/09

    I really liked this. I made it with canned beans and no added water. I poured off most of the liquid form the beans. I made it in a slow cooker. I really enjoyed the unusual seasonings. I would make it again. - 6/2/09

    This is a good base reciepe. I changed it a little bit because I can't take real hot stuff. I didn't use the cloves, cayenne pepper, or the chiles. I added 8oz. of no added salt tomato sauce and maybe 2tsp. chili powder. I also used some sea salt. It came out great. I will use this reciepe again. - 10/2/07

    Since I wanted chili, not soup, I used about a quarter of the water called for, and while the flavor was good, it was so spicy/hot I could barely eat it! I had to use sour cream to cool it off. It may have been so spicy because of the chili substitution I made, so I will add less chilis next time. - 12/22/09

    Since I'm a vegetarian this recipe got my attention. I have to say I'm not a fan of cumin but I tried it anyway. It was a bit strong for me so I tried it again without cumin and added extra garlic and liked it much better. - 11/17/09

    I used canned beans and realized afterwards I should have used dried ones. But I just added one package of taco seasoning mix and made it into bean soup - and my goodness was it delicious. And SO easy, especially if you use canned beans and make soup of it. this is something I'll make again. - 10/19/09

    Going 'low sodium' isn't worth it when you end up not liking it and therefore not eating it. - 2/20/09

    It was good...added more spices but cut the water down. when the beans cooked fully I smashed up some of them in the pot and it made it a bit more creamier. - 12/21/09

    I made this after reading the ratings. I cut back on the water and added cornstarch to thicken. I didn't want to eat a chili soup. It was very flavourful I also added chicken breast strips. - 11/30/09

    Good idea, but not enough flavor for me. I used dry beans, added a can of tomatoes, some diced bell peppers, and a few other spices (onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder), and only used 4 cups of water. Turned out very flavorful and filling! - 8/8/09
