This turned out to be a yummy soup! While not as thick as
traditional chili...it's just as good. Make it as spicy as you want to
by adding more green chilies or chipotle peppers. Switch up the beans if
you're not a pinto fan. So many ways to make this your own style. Great
for a crowd and the leftovers are good, too!

1 - 2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
