Mama's Crock Pot Chili

This recipe actually calls for beer, but since we don't drink alcohol I leave it out. You could also leave out the honey as well, but I think it gives it a nice sweet and spicy type of a flavor. Great when you need to take a meal to someone since it makes quite a bit.

1 large onion
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ to 2 lbs ground turkey (ground beef)
1 can crushed tomatoes
3 tbsp. chilli powder

3 tbsp. hot sauce
½ cup honey
1 pkg frozen corn(canned)
1 can(15 oz) kidney or pink beans (black beans)
½ cup diced mild green chillies (canned green chillies)
3 beef bouillon cubes
1 to 2 Tbsp. flour to thicken(+)
1 can tomato soup with 1 can water
1 can chicken broth
3 ribs celery
2 green onions
