Sorry, but I gotta grin out of this. I don't use a commercial mix at all, I start from dried chiles and make my own powders and then add the rest of the 'stuff' to taste.

I beg your pardon...cumin is NOT essential! Never used tumeric in chile soup either. I can't stand it and never use it in chile soup. What I do use is ground ancho, pasilla, chipotle, Hatch red, and New Mexico or California sweet. My liquid is mostly beef broth, very little tomato sauce/juice and sometimes none at all.

For a general all purpose pure ground red chile, try Gebharts if you can get it. Not sure exactly what it is, but I'm betting a red 'New Mexico' type.

I also put beans in mine....don't tell, they'd banish me I know! I use canned, drained black beans and pinto beans.

If you really want to use a 'mix' there are several good ones. Williams is pretty good, and so is Chugwater but I don't know how far away from Wyoming the Chugwater is marketed.
