We added a packet of powdered Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and would probably add two next time. In addition, we used 6 potatoes. We baked three in the microwave and then cubed them with the skins on. We peeled three and cubed and boiled them. The boiled cubes retained a bit more of their shape while the baked ones mixed into the soup more. I would suggest getting some extra sour cream for garnish (we neglected to think of this). It's pretty high in fat \but there's plenty you could do to the recipe if that stuff matters to you. Use 1% milk, low fat sour cream, substitute chicken broth for half the milk, use low fat cheese, use turkey bacon, etc.

This chili was a hit in our house. We made it with fire roasted crushed tomatoes. We served it over lime tortilla chips and topped it with sour cream and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. The chili powder and hot sauce gave it a lovely hint of heat without any real burning spiciness.
