Once all ingredients are opened, washed ready for preparation: trace star/pentagram over food and inside pan. Light a candle nearby. Visualize your intention for a friendly, uplifting meal/meeting with your visitors.
Start to saute the garlic and onions in the oil, once transculecent add meats until browned. If desired, rinse meat in strainer to remove excess grease and return to pan. Add all 3 cans of beans, then fill 2 of the empty cans with water; pour into pan. Also, add in the tomatoes, sauce and spices. Visualize again your intention. Stir well and cover; simmer for about 30 minutes on low.
For thicker soup you can add a thickener like cornstarch and water 3-1 ratio. Heat soup to boiling then add the thickener; stiring quickly. Soup should thicken up within a minute or two. Visualize again before bringing food to your guests/table.
Serve with any of these garnishments for a hearty meal:
shredded cheddar cheese, frito corn chips, crackers,
sour cream, sliced jalepenos, chives, croutons, bread
My version of the chili frito pie: in bowl place a handful frito corn chips, cheddar cheese and chili. Top with hot sauce and sour cream.
*For more spice add some red pepper flakes or Tabasco sauce.
