Chili Veggie Soup
This is a super-convenient chili that includes all the traditional vegetables men like best--and none of those "funny" ones! It's especially hearty, too, with the combination of beef broth and tomato sauce, please just enough kidney beans to give it the "feel of a meal." of course, not every man loves traditional chili. I remember when my son Tommy was six and get his foot caught in his bike and had to get it x-rayed. They asked me, Is he allergic to anything? Just kidney beans, he piped up. so if you have anyone in your family who is "allergic" to kidney beans, just leave them out.
