I hear the gatekeeping bean police on their way... "It'S NOt cHili iF IT hAs BeANs" Modern chili is derived from chile con carne which literally means chilies WITH MEAT. If you want to gatekeep, why stop at the beans?

Not OP, but my technique for a clear broth is to make sure to simmer gently, low and slow, and be vigilant about skimming fat off the top. Incorporated fats will make a cloudy broth.

Some folks also strain their broth through a cheesecloth, although I've never personally found it necessary.

And level up beyond green bell peppers... use poblanos! And ancho chili peppers too! And if you wanna go crazy, see if your supermarket has dried guajillo peppers and throw some of those in too!

It ain't chile con carne without chiles!

This. I remember when I started making my own chili I realized that the smell and taste I usually associate with chili is actually cumin, not chili powder. Then I realized how little people actually use cumin in their chili.
