A low carb chili recipe so easy to make even someone with near zero cookery skills can manage it.

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ Teaspoon crushed cumin
  • 2-3 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 cans Eden Black soybeans, drained

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a large stock pot or slow cooker.
  2. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1- 2 hours.
  4. The longer this mix simmers, the more the flavors will set in.

For extra carb reduction: swap beef broth or stock in place of
tomatoes.
