Ingredients

    2 T light butter
    2 C onion, chopped

    1/4 t chili powder
    any other spices desired (I usually use 1 T basil, and a dash of ground or cracked red pepper)
    1 (15 oz) can Kidney Beans
    1 (28 oz) can tomatoes
    4 C water
    1 C kidney beans, fresh, frozen, or canned

you can add in 1/2 C chopped ham, chicken, or turkey breast, which will increase the calorie and fat count.
