Hearty Beefy Chili Soup Recipe

"I find that this soup works best with only the chili macaroni flavor Hambuger Helper. This is a hearty soup that should be served as a main meal, all that is needed is a crusty loaf of bread or garlic bread. Adust the chili powder and chili flakes to suit taste, can make this as thick as you like by adjusting the broth and/or water"
