• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 lbs lean beef, chopped
• 4 cups canned tomatoes, drained or 4 cups beef both
• 2 Teaspoons salt (omit if using broth)
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 Teaspoon oregano
• ¼ Teaspoon crushed cumin
• 2-3 Tablespoons chili powder
• 2 cans Eden Black soybeans, drained

Place all ingredients in a large stock pot or slow cooker. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1- 2 hours. The longer this mix simmers, the more the flavors will set in. For extra carb reduction: substitute beef broth or stock in place of tomatoes (broth version reduces carbs to 3.2 grams per serving).
