This is a great chili by itself or if you like to experiment. I've made this recipe as is and it was very good! The next time I changed a couple things... I used about half the amount of tomato juice, replaced the white sugar with brown sugar, and left out the green peppers (my bf doesn't like them). To add some more spice and experiment I added spicy Italian sausage, red pepper flakes, and a dash of cocoa powder. I gave this 5 starts because even though I changed a few things, it was the original recipe that was the foundation.

This is soup is absolutely amazing!! My boyfriend even loved it and he doesn't do veggies. I did make a few alterations after reading other reviews, recipes, and what items I had in my house. I used a butternut squash and an acorn squash. Then I replaced one of the potatoes with a sweet potato. I used all of the broth the recipe called for and I think next time I will add another 3/4 cup because of the extra squash I added. I doubled the spices including the cayenne pepper and then added a dash of curry powder (we like a little zing). I love lots of flavor and this is restaurant quality flavor!!!

It tasted great! The only problem is, the stuffing comes out a little jello-ie because of all the liquid. Next time I might reduce the amount of liquid.
