For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for beef broth. Add a squeeze of lime juice at the end for a bright, fresh flavor. Top with shredded cheese, chopped red onion, sour cream or Greek yogurt, diced avocado, cilantro, or a dollop of your favorite hot sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili seasoning to your preferred level of spiciness. This chili tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together.
