Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 lb lean ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 ounce) can southwest-style diced tomatoes, with juice
4 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 avocado, diced (optional)
Directions:
1. In a big soup pot, heat oil over medium heat.
2. Add onion and saute until softened, about 6 minutes.
3. Add in ground beef and garlic; saute, breaking beef up with the back of a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain any excess fat.
4. Add beans, tomatoes with juice, stock, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar; bring to a boil.
5. Cover; decrease heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes to blend the flavors; taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper, if necessary.
6. Ladle into heated bowls and garnish with cheese and avocado, if desired.
