Notes
If your family doesn't like spicy, decrease the amount of chili powder used.
Most canned chilies have a heat index - mild, medium or hot. Select the type that best fits your taste.
Add all the juices from the canned tomatoes.
Be certain to rinse all the sauce from the canned black beans before using in this soup.
Can also be made using leftover chicken.
