Is it too early in the season to declare this my favorite chili of the year?
I’m doing it anyway.
I hesitate to even call this a pumpkin chili because it really is just a good, basic chili that happens to have pumpkin in it. And I am convinced it has universal appeal to individuals on all ends of the pumpkin loving-or-hating spectrum.
I like my chili to be on the thick side. Overly soupy chili to me is akin to mushy Brussels sprouts or unsalted eggs. Just no.
Pumpkin puree gives this chili a perfect consistency - not too runny, not too thick.
Pumpkin lovers, be amazed at your favorite gourd’s ability to thicken soup. Pumpkin haters, you might not even know it’s there.
