Hubster and I have different views on chili. He likes his very soupy and I like mine thick. He likes his with only a few ingredients, I like more variety. He likes his on top of a baked potato or salad. I like mine over top of rice or a grilled polenta cake. Since I’m the one cooking, I make it how I like it.
