It’s chili and soup season! I don’t think it is on an official calendar anywhere, but I Googled it just in case and confirmed that there is not an official start date. It’s a cultural period in the fall when the weather turns cooler. However, I also learned that January is designated (by whom I don’t know) as National Soup Month, so we’ll have to celebrate with more soups that month. Even though it’s not official, I feel that it is time to really start hitting heavier on the soups and chilis. They are so comforting and a great meal to freeze and pull out when you need to in a pinch. While I do have a couple go to chili recipes, I always want to try something new, and how could I pass up a recipe called “Hot Pants Chili”? Although, I’m not sure if the hot pants reference is good or not so good? We shall see.
