National Chili Day

Go grab your biggest bowl. It's time for soup, folks. Today is National Chili Day in the U.S.A! This annual celebration is observed on the fourth Thursday in February. And with the never-ending winter we've had, a great big bowl of chili sounds pretty good right about now, doesn't it?

People have been enjoying this comfort food for centuries. United States President Lyndon B. Johnson was a great big chili lover. Whether you prefer yours hot and spicy, thick and chunky or vegetarian-style, today is the perfect day to enjoy a heapin' helpin' of chili!

In honor of the occasion, why not whip up a batch of homemade chili? Soup's on!
