Steps:

• Preheat a large frying pan and add the butter/olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the ground beef. Break apart the beef into small pieces, season generously with salt and fry until browned all over. Add the spices: chili powder, ground cumin, tarragon and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, then remove the ground beef into a clean bowl.
• Into the same pan, add the diced onion, pepper and garlic. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and tender; set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the beef broth in a large soup pot. Add less broth for a thicker chili. Once the broth comes to a boil, add the ground beef, onion-pepper mixture, Worcestershire, Marsala cooking wine, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Bring the soup back up to a simmer and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
• Drain the canned beans first, then add to the soup. Season soup to taste with salt, then simmer for another 10 minutes.
• When serving, top the soup with grated cheddar cheese, corn, diced avocado, diced green onion, sliced jalapeno or chili peppers and tortilla chips.
