Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 16oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder

  • Stir in the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients and simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally.

Notes

If you like things with more spice try using hot sausage! 
I eat this in a bowl with rolls or yeast biscuits. It is not very "soupy" but does have some liquid around it. If you like it with a more soup like consistency double the water.
