Instructions: Brown the meat with the onions. Drain off any fat. Add the tomato juice, chopped tomatoes and chili beans. Add spices and sugar, going easy on the chili powder and red pepper until youve had a chance to taste it. Allow to come to a low boil. Add the beer, allow to boil, and taste again to re-season if necessary. This, of course, can be made without the beer, but you may need to add water or additional tomato juice if the soup is too thick. Serve with celery spread with peanut butter.
