Chili (the soup/stew) debate rages depending upon where you are. Some
is spicy, some has beans, some no beans. Some recipes call for
tomatoes, some not.

My mother used canned Campbell's tomato soup and water, which is pretty
darn bland. She'd add a pound of cooked ground beef (with minced
onions) and a can or two of kidney beans. That's what she called
"chili". It was filling, sure. But definitely not spicy.
