NOTES : Al Yeganeh of New York was the inspiration for "The Soup-Nazi"
episode. There he dishes out servings of soup for $6 and up at the
International Soup Kitchen, on West 55th Street. Yeganeh once shared his
recipe for turkey chili on David Letterman's show. This is a written
version, as tweaked and tested by Food Editor Gillian Duffy of New York
Magazine. If desired substitute two whole chickens for the turkey.
