We are chili fanatics in this house.  Chili season just cannot come quick enough for us and this is the epitome of fall chili.  Now don’t let the fact there is pumpkin in this weird you out, it doesn’t do much more than give beautiful color and a great body to the chili especially if you like it thicker like we do.  I found some chicken chorizo in the meat department and knew it would be perfect for this.  As with pretty much every chili, the longer it sits, the better it gets.

Second and third day chili is my jam and if there’s any left over, it gets frozen for a nice batch of chili cheese fries when the mood strikes.  (Is there ever a time chili cheese fries ISN’T in order though?)  I am a huge fan of using tomato soup as the base for chili when I want some of the work taken out of it for me.  It also gives a great creaminess to it and cuts a bit of the acidity of using pure tomato sauce or stewed tomatoes.   The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.

    1. Because I’m awesome? LOL I keed! Seriously though, if you’re ever going to break the low carb diet, this is the dish to do it for but its full of other nutrients your body needs so there’s that. 😉

  1. I never thought to use pumpkin as part of a chili recipe, especially since it doesn’t alter the taste. At first I was trying to visualize how chili would taste with pumpkin…I think it wouldn’t be that bad and probably kind of unique. #happynowlinkup

    1. You would never know it’s there if you don’t want to. It’s more for color and depth. But you could always add 1 tsp of allspice just to help amp up the fall flavor!

  2. What a great combination for a delicious bowl of chili! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday and sure hope you have a great weekend!

  3. Oh I bet I could get my husband to actually eat pumpkin this way! He loves chili and I am a fan of mixing up the fillings and vegetables to give it a different taste. Thanks for sharing with us at the Hello Fall linky, Pinned.

    1. You could totally hide the fact there’s pumpkin in there and not tell him until afterward when he’s raving about it. 😉
