Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve in big bowls like this: place a handful of chips in your bowl. Ladle the soup over the chips. Top with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Add another squeeze of lime and more fresh chopped cilantro.

- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh produce, herbs, and spices will give your chili the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless variations of chili, so feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking.
