Ingredients :
1	cup	Dried White Beans
1/2	lb	Lean Ground Turkey Or Beef, (see note)
1/2	lb	Bonless Sirloin, Cubed, (see note)
4	cup	Chicken Broth
1/2	cup	Mexican Beer (Not Dark), (we use Corona)
2	lb	Poblano Peppers, Roasted, Peeled And Chopp, see note
1	x	Tomato, chopped
1	med	Onion, chopped
1	x	Clove Garlic, minced
1/2	cup	Fresh Cilantro, chopped
2 1/2	tsp	Tabasco
1 1/2	tsp	Oregano
2 1/2	tsp	Cumin
1/8	cup	Parsley, chopped
1	tsp	Salt
1	tsp	Pepper

How to cook :

* (We use half this amount and seed the chiles)1.
Soak and cook beans until tender.
2. In a soup pot, saute ground meat and sirloin until done.
Remove. (We saute in a little olive oil)3.
Add onions, garlic and cilantro to pot and saute for 3-5 minutes or until onions are softened.
4. Add chicken broth, beer, poblano peppers and tomato.
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
5. Add meat, beans, tabasco, oregano, cumin, parsley, salt and pepper.
Stir well.6. Simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Note: you could eliminate the meat by using TVP for the ground and doubling the amount of beans.
I have not tried this though.
- Sharon Badian, AT&TTony's notes: Fresh poblano peppers are essential to this recipe.
We've found they tend to be rather mild in mid- summer, with the hotness increasing as they move into the end of the growing season.
Adjust the number of peppers to your taste and the hotness of the particular chiles you use.
Incidentally, although it's heresy to say it, this is a pretty low-fat recipe.
NOTES : O.K., folks, try the following recipe, then come back and tell me it's not chili.
The only rule is you have to cook up a batch and try it.
