Chili Con Carne Soup

This Chili was amazing.. And perfect for the rainy day we had yesterday!! Some of the ingredients were hard to come by.. But I was SUPER excited to find no sodium chicken and beef bouillon cubes!!! I also wanted to share the low sodium salad dressing I found.. The Salad spritzers by Wish Bone, which are also low calorie, have been the lowest sodium dressing I've found so far!!
Oh.. And I've lost 4lbs =]
