Chili powder ain’t chili

I rest my case--whatever you put up there, AIN'T chili. Chili is officially classified as a stew, not a soup. I see no chiles in your recipe--WHOLE chiles, preferably jalapeno. No cumin. No chile pequin. And GROUND BEEF? GREEN PEPPER??? CURRY???

Try that in Texas and you'd be shot.
