This was good! Mine didn’t turn out this deep dark color. I added a little tomato past with it. I also used petite chopped tomatoes cause that is what I had and I blended them a little. I will add more meat next time just because we like things meaty. I also think it needs a little more kick. Maybe some cumin. I honestly wonder what it would be like with tomato soup instead. This is a very good base to play with. I will definitely be doing this one again.
