Instructions:

1. Sauté the Base (Chunky Mode):

   • Add olive oil, onion, bell pepper, and garlic to your Soup Maker.

   • Select the "Chunky" function and let it cook for 10 minutes to soften the vegetables.

2. Brown the Meat:

   • Add the ground beef or turkey to the Soup Maker.

   • Run the "Chunky" function again for another 10 minutes to brown the meat and combine it with the vegetables.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients:

   • Add the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).

   • Stir gently to combine.

4. Cook the Chili (Chunky Mode):

   • Select the "Chunky" function one more time and let it cook for 28 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

5. Final Touches:

   • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

6. Serve:

   • Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, avocado, or tortilla chips.

Tips:

• For a thicker chili, use the "Blend" function for a few seconds to partially puree some of the beans and vegetables.

• If you prefer a vegetarian version, skip the meat and add extra beans or diced vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.

• Make it spicier by adding a diced jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce during the cooking process.
