Chili Pasta Soup. It’s a marriage between chili and mac and cheese!
What I love about this soup is, is that it’s so versatile… I mean if you don’t have beans on hand, leave them out! I didn’t have any on hand and C doesn’t really care for beans.. so I left them out this last time I made it! If you don’t like kidney beans… use a different kind.
Switch up the seasonings… leave out the cheese… I mean it’s really all up to you! No matter what… It’s still easy and delicious!
