Christmas “chocolate beer soup” recipe

I make this soup every year for Christmas. My mom used to make it growing up, so I decided to carry on the tradition in our family. Jer calls it the “chocolate beer soup.” But essentially, it’s chicken chili mole. It’s SOOOO delicious and the perfect winter soup. Many of you have been asking me this for literally years… I know sorry I am not a “food blogger” so this isn’t my specialty, but here goes…

If you try it, let me know how you like it! Merry Christmas ya’ll!
