This recipe for my own AMBUSH CHILI, that has won in many cook-offs, and is retired from competition. The new recipe is called Ambush-2 Chili and has been entered now, in some 12 cook- offs and has placed each time including three 1st's!

CHILI RULE #1: NEVER USE BEANS IN CHILI! THEY ARE A SIDE DISH, NOT PART OF CHILI!

Spiced Lentil Soup

I've had allspice in my chicken lentil stew before so I was pretty sure our family would like this one. We have all been suprised at how wonderful allspice tastes in a recipe like this and my kids said this even outranked the original recipe that my Mom's boyfriend had made. I would also rate this as fairly easy for home made soup. We make things "from scratch" a lot so I like things that I can make easily. We doubled the recipe and fought over the leftovers.
