Notes:

I add more onions, carrots, low fat smoked sausage, kidney beans than the original recipe calls for. these can be reduced in amount if you desire.
7
I prefer using the dark red kidney beans because they really are *pretty* and colorful in this dish.
8
I have also used whole baby carrots cuz I'm lazy.
9
The chili powder adds a subtle touch of *heat*.
10
I tend to simmer on low for up to 2 hours.
