Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Out of This World Low Sodium Chili

Out of this world unfortunately describes the sodium content of lots of chilis, especially those made with store-bought mixes. This recipe, rich from cocoa powder and red wine, proves you can go for low sodium and great taste at the same time.

directions
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned on all sides. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the tomatoes, green chiles, tomato sauce, wine, salt, paprika, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, crushed red pepper, Tabasco, cocoa powder, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover the Dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours.
Stir the kidney beans into the chili. Cook at a low simmer, uncovered, for 2 more hours, stirring occasionally.
Ladle the chili into individual bowls and top with shredded cheese.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This recipe is amazing! We used ground Turkey and fresh beans instead just to further reduce the sodium. that Made it 830 M.G. for the whole pot. The flavor was incredible, even better than our regular recipe! Thanks :)

This was quite good. I wasn't really looking for a low sodium recipe so I didn't go out of my way to use low sodium ingredients. I just wanted a chili that used beef chunks not ground beef. This was excellent. Lots of flavor. I'll definitely make this again.
