Soup/Chili companions

[howl]

For chili I favor cornbread unless having it for breakfast when I like tortillas and scrambled eggs. Generally I like cornbread for dark broth and hoecake for light.

Hoecake is 1 part Crisco, 2 parts buttermilk, 4 parts self rising flour. It's a lot like biscuit but much quicker and you can vary the ingredients to mosy any form of those basics as long as you observe the ratios.

I just got done eating one of my favorites… homemade venison chili mac
Also, I like corn chips and cheese on my chili.

Cornbread for chili and grilled cheese for soup. Saltines are acceptable in the absence of either and requisite in vegetable soup.

Best companion for Chili is a Cinnamon Roll.

Chili and corn bread or saltines

Tomato soup and grilled cheese

Baking powder biscuits with just about anything else.

You’re a heathen if you don’t serve New England clam chowder with oyster crackers. Manhattan clam chowder needs a grilled cheese sandwich though.

Manhattan clam chowder needs a grilled cheese sandwich though.

Because it’s basically tomato soup with a few extras?

I’ve got chili on the stove for a Bobcat football watch get together tonight. Will have cornbread and some chili-cheese Fritos as sides. For the rest I usually just eat soup with a few saltines.

Brunswick stew REQUIRES cornbread (pronounced “cōhn-bread”)

Venison stew REQUIRES wheat dinner rolls with lots of butter

If the biscuit is good, you can keep everything else

We are talking real chili right?

Truth! I've had some awesome biscuits before and when they're nice and warm loaded with butter I could put away more than my share!

With beans, right??

I actually made my first pot of “TX” chili last year. I’m not fully converted yet but I ain’t mad at it, especially with some good cornbread!

Had some 'chili' in Hotchkiss, CO last elk hunt. It was lightly seasoned ground beef with tomato sauce, no taste trace of cumin or garlic, and a can of Ranch Style beans poured in...actually wasn't horrible but I was pretty hungry.

Beans have a place and I do like to whip up a good Michigan style pot when the weather’s cold. But living in NM for so long now has made me realize the full potential of chile peppers and my chili no longer needs beans.
