While Chef Vanessa is setting up these recipes for an amazing Super Bowl party, we can assure you that this three bean chili would be perfect amongst friends as well as alone for a nice quick meal!

Not only would this soup be perfect in a bowl, it would also be totally perfect if it was poured on top of some of Vanessa's world-famous home-made tortilla chips too!

This particular recipe says it'll feed 6-8 people, but something tells us that if you're making it for a Super Bowl party, you might just need to make a few extra helpings to make sure all your New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons fans will stay happy no matter how well their team is doing!
