We liked all the veggies and color in this, but I think the sweetness from the pumpkin and tomato sauce weren't quite our thing. We also made this spicy by doubling and using the canned whole green chilis pureed with the seeds in them. Topping this with yogurt goes nicely.

    Deelish! I didn't have some of the ingredients, so I substituted. Hominy for corn, lima beans for kidney beans, Rotel to combine the diced tomatoes and green chilies. This is so good, and the texture wonderful and comforting. A go-to recipe in my book from now on! So glad I've started using ground turkey. I never knew how delicious it could be!

    Delicious! I made a few small substitutions to make this my own. Combined red and yellow peppers in a effort to clear the veggie bin; replaced the canned chilis with 1/2 of a fresh jalapeno (see my about me); and I added 1 cup of corn for additional color. The pumpkin does not across as a separate flavor in the chili but as a rich note in the sauce that really helped bring it all together. Made the sauce creamier and more satisfying as a quick winter meal. Just loved this one. Thanks Lauralie!!

    Wonderful chili! The pumpkin adds a great texture and a boost of vitamins and does not give the chili a pumkin-y taste. I made this as written, but doubled the kidney beans and halved the chili powder. I served dallops of light sour cream on top. I'll make this again for sure. Thanx!
