Instructions 

  • In a large Dutch oven (or heavy bottomed soup pot) over medium-high heat, sauté the onion and jalapeño in the oil for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and continue sautéing for 30 seconds more.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. If you have extra time, allowing the chili to simmer for longer over medium-low heat will allow the flavors to intensify.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
