A warm and hearty stove-top chili featuring pumpkin and chorizo, perfect for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in pumpkin puree, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld. For a thicker chili, simmer uncovered for the last 10 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño when you add the onion.
  • This chili can be made ahead of time and reheats well. The flavors will deepen overnight.
  • If you don’t have chorizo, you can substitute with another spicy sausage or ground pork seasoned with chili powder and cumin.
