Scaled for Likability: Great
This was not chili. It was taco soup. I swear. If you look closely you can see the soup is liquidy not thick tomato paste based like chili. Besides, chili would never have jalapeno, green chilis, black beans, or lime juice. Nor would chili ever be served with tortilla chips on the side.
