Got a Can Opener and a Pot? Then You Can Make This EASY Soup Recipe!Pin
It’s officially fall and officially time to break out the soup recipes. But, who are we kidding, it’s 90 degrees here today in this the first day of fall. Nevermind, you will enjoy eating this soup all year, as we do. The reason it is so enjoyable is because it takes about 17 GREAT Reads for Fall!5 minutes to make and makes enough for an army. Here’s why it is so easy: you just have to brown meat and onion and then open up seven cans and stir. You really just need a can opener and a pot.  It does need to cook for a couple hours on low, but it’s definitely a “fix it and forget it” kind of meal. And, it is so good the next day, and the next. This is also called “Seven Can Soup” or “Turkey Chili” in some circles.

This makes enough for an army I usually freeze half of it in a glass jar and eat on the other half all week. If you are tired of eating it just as a chili, try it as a topping on your baked potatoes or nachos (thereby rendering it completely not healthy!). Enjoy! Love our recipes and meal ideas?
