Vegan PUMPKIN CHILI RECIPE
I have an inclination that I'm really giving occasional formulas to you all this year. In the past I would simply post whatever formulas I had a craving for posting and they more often than not didn't fix up well with up and coming occasions or seasons. I'm the sort of individual that drinks hot cocoa in the mid year and eats pumpkin throughout the entire year, however I'm attempting to recall that not every person is that way! This year I need to give loads of scrumptious, warming fall formulas for you all, a large number of which will obviously incorporate pumpkin! In any case, don't stress. Not all my fall formulas will incorporate pumpkin. I know there must be a few people out there who aren't enormous pumpkin fans, so I'll make sure to share non-pumpkin formulas this fall and winter also! Yet, today I am sneaking in some pumpkin with this Vegetarian Pumpkin Chili Recipe and man, goodness man, was it a decent choice!
The pumpkin season isn't overpowering in this stew formula, yet the pumpkin puree includes such a rich smoothness, that I cherish. I don't think about you, yet I cherish my bean stew thick and the pumpkin puree makes a generous, thick stew versus a soupy bean stew. This Vegetarian Pumpkin Chili is high in protein because of heaps of beans and is brimming with generous vegetables to keep you full!
We presently love to top our stew with avocado, cilantro and Cashew Sour Cream. Growing up we generally served our bean stew over macaroni noodles (Cincinnati style), however here in China we in some cases eat it over rice! Obviously, you likewise need to serve your stew with some cornbread so I'll list our most loved veggie lover cornbread formulas beneath:
Ingredients :
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped carrot
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 15 oz. cans chopped tomatoes
- 2 15 oz. cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree
- Garnish: avocado, cilantro, chili flakes, vegan sour cream
Directions :
- In a large pot, sauté the onions, garlic and carrot until softened.
- Add in the chopped celery and bell pepper and sauté a few minutes more until soft and cooked through.
- Add in the spices--from the chili powder to the black pepper--and stir until all the veggies are coated in the spices. Continue stirring and cooking the spices for a few minutes.
- Add in the canned chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans and pumpkin puree and stir to combine. Bring the chili to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the chili to simmer for 10-20 minutes. If you like your chili a bit runnier, add in some vegetable broth to thin it out. I love mine thick so I don't add any extra liquid. Towards the end of the cooking process, taste and add more salt and spices to your liking.
- Once all the flavors have melded together and the chili it warmed through, serve it topped with your favorite garnishes and some Pumpkin Corn Bread Muffins if desired!
