Chilli with Chocolate

I used to buy chilli from Wendy's. After Wendy's decided to pull out from Singapore's market, we made up our mind that it is time to stop our 'chilii hunt' and make our own instead. 

Turn out, this soup is super easy to make! And luckily, someone revealed to us a secret ingredient to this dish- cocoa powder! Don't shake your head just yet, it is only added in a small amount to bring out the depth of the flavor of chilli, and indeed it does. 

This is a convenient dish which you can make ahead. It freezes well and heating it up is a breeze. Pair it with some crusty breads and your breakfast is ready!
