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 who
le chickens for the turkey.
