We're bringing our chili spoons to the party anytime anyone is stirring up a pot, and we're holding them in anticipation here: succulent pork, tomatillo, and corn, with some shallot stirred in and some cilantro on top, bringing out the verde in all its forms. It's pretty easy being green if being green is this chili.

2 Cook the Pork
Place a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, ground pork, and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pot. Break up meat until no pink remains and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes. Transfer ground pork to a plate. Keep pot on burner and lower heat to medium.

4 Finish the Soup
Stir 1¼ cups water, chicken base, and ½ tsp. salt into hot pot until completely combined. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir in ground pork, 2 tsp. lime juice, and half the cilantro (reserve remaining for garnish) until completely combined. Remove from burner.
