It's finally cool enough for socks, sweaters and soup! And nothing beats a great, hot soup on a crisp fall evening! We finally turned on the furnace last week, although Tom wanted to hold off until November! I recently had a conversation with a friend about the wisdom of calling this recipe chili since it doesn't contain any chili powder! But there are beans so I guess it's "almost chili." It's got a lively, fresh flavor from the addition of the lime juice and cilantro. I got the original recipe from Better Homes and Gardens and made a few changes, which I have included below. By the way, the Wasatch Mountains are in Utah ... I checked!
