"Posting this for nutrition information and for anyone interested in something a bit different from the usual chili. This does not have much liquid at all; but I am hoping after I read the nutrient info that it has the vitamin and protein count I am looking for. I think it has a very nice taste, and enough spice even without the chili powder. As with all chilis, everything is adjustable; especially the amount of heat you desire. The type of mushroom you choose is also optional; I find the baby portabellos worked nicely. If you try it; hope it works for you."
