Creamy Pumpkin Chili

Creamy Pumpkin Chili loaded with beans, veggies and vegan turkey.  

Do you love pumpkin? We LOVE pumpkin. That’s why when pumpkin season comes around we put it in EVERYTHING. This recipe took a while to come up with. Not because it’s complicated, but because we just couldn’t imagine pumpkin and chili in the same dish. But we’re here to tell you – it works! The creaminess of the pumpkin is the perfect replacement for the tomato juice.

Key flavour components:

  • Pumpkin Puree
  • Soy Curls
  • White Kidney Beans
  • Mushrooms
  • Coconut
  • Medley of Spices

Chili is one of our go-to meals. It’s easy to make and bursting with flavour. All you have to do is cook up everything in a large stockpot, allow to simmer for as long as you can allow and enjoy. Why is there not set time for chili? You can essentially simmer chili for as long as you want – the longer the simmer the deeper the flavour.

Anyone else have cans on cans on cans of pumpkin puree this time of year. You buy a bunch because you think you’ll eat your weight in pumpkin pie, but unfortunately you don’t. This recipe is an amazing way to use up extra pumpkin puree. It’s also a great way to break up all the sweet pumpkin recipes you’ve probably been eating.

If you love chili, we promise you’ll love this recipe. It’s unique but still familiar. It’s comforting and delicious. Plus topped with some sour cream and/or toasted pumpkin seeds and you’ve got yourself the perfect Fall dinner. Get the full recipe below.
