October 31, 2015. You continue to change my life with such great recipes. love love love this dish! After the meat is cooked and all ingredients added, I let it simmer on med-low for a few hours. Loved this! I usually make it on the stove! I did think it was a bit thick after cooking, so I added a bit more broth before serving. Gluten free too! Made this tonight in the Instant Pot. This is literally my favorite recipe of all time!! I stumbled on this website last week and have made 6 dishes already, all which have been so good. Obviously this is a new favorite and I will be making again soon so I can enjoy some leftovers! I hadn't refreshed the web page in too long; now I see the corrected cook time. It was FABULOUS!!! Satisfying! He was able to eat a big bowl of it without having heartburn when he went to bed. My husband and daughter are not Dan’s of pumpkin at all and they both love this chili. I love the flavor and the creaminess given by the pumpkin is YUMMY! I could see you adding more chili powder and some cayenne or red pepper flakes if you like it spicy! I added curry powder and served it with a spoonful of greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Thanks so much for this amazing recipe- its a keeper!! Nov 12, 2015 - Hearty Vegetarian Pumpkin Chili, a food drink post from the blog Skinnytaste, written by Georgina on Bloglovin’ Easy and yummy. Skinnytaste. Hope you felt better leaving that comment after Gina posted this recipe for free. Im really glad you enjoyed it, its better than it sounds, lol, I was a little hesitant about making this because of the pumpkin but I enjoyed it so much that I gave my mother a bowl and she loved it!!! Do not judge the pumpkin, you really cannot taste it! So i just made this and I don't know what took me so long! This was good and different. #4 add chilies, both cans of beans (drained and rinsed) and mix thoroughly. made it tonight!!! Add beans, pumpkin puree, green chilis, broth, chili powder, oregano, and bay leaves. I did think that overall the flavor was a little bland but that's an easy fix. Best chili I've ever had! I'm sure either would be tasty! Going to the grocery store tomorrow. Ok I think you read my mind…I was making your Chicken Taco Chili the other day (delicious!) Would it be okay to use ground beef instead of turkey? I also tend to add paprika, when we traveled to Hungary we bought big packages of paprika and I tend to add it to a lot of recipes. Stovetop simmer for about 45min…yum! And I find it very filling as well..a little bit goes a long way! I will definitely be making this again! I just read an article that the canned pumpkin purée actually contains little or no pumpkin. I didn’t have cumin so I added curry powder and to me it tasted good. Can you please verify this is really only 4 smart points? Thanks! I can't wait to try it out! Gina,I also entered this recipe into WW e-tools Recipe Builder and came up with 5 pts+. I made this today… awesome! It smells delish! It is about 30 degrees here and the perfect weather for chili. I really like tomatoes and spice and was wondering if a can of rotel would be strange paired with the pumpkin? My entire family loved this chili! Very excited to try it out. Do you think it would still be good with a pie pumpkin roasted then put in? Would you have to soak them first? The beans are drained and rinsed, no extra liquid/water added. Public Recipe Share. LOL! It is actually a squash blend. I doubled the chili powder and cumin, added some red pepper flake and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. But looks like it makes a ton. Having never worked with the peppers before (I bought them on a whim as I was grabbing the diced chilies next to them in the store) I just diced 4 whole peppers and threw them in without researching their heat. Hi! I'm not someone who watches my weight too often, but I can gain a quick 5 lbs if I don't have some sense of caloric intake in my head, so this recipe is awesome. Thank you, thank you for yet another delicious dish that my boys (13,10 & 4) all love as much as mom and dad. ???? I just made this and was trying to create it on my WW profile so I could just type in the name but I got 5 sp not 4? After reading the recipe, I knew I had to give it a shot…low and behold…it was fantastic!!! October 9, 2017. I ended up not using any toppings; it was tasty and filling enough by itself! Thanks as always Gina! Packed with vegetables, beans & pumpkin. BTW, I also ran it through WW Recipe Builder and got 5 points per serving using 2 pounds of 99% fat-free ground turkey breast and assuming it makes 9 servings. I made this tonight but more of a vegetarian meal, meat substitute crumbles and water cuz I didn't have veggie broth and my family didn't even know the difference. I agree that it was a little lacking in flavor, so I added some cinnamon and some Adobo. fantastic work! Should i make any changes to the recipe or do you think it will fit in there? Unfortunately, I have to agree with several other people and say this recipe was really bland..I was so sad! , This look delish. I loved the consistency tho so I knew it just needed some extra spices. I making this today for the 2nd time, I think its fabulous! It shouldn't be dry, but also not too liquidy. So, thank you!!!! I had to take them to work so I would stop eating them! Yummy and healthy to boot. It's pretty chilly here in Tucson, AZ today, so it seemed like the perfect fall meal! Oh me oh my…I just made this chili for the second time and doubled the recipe this time.I added a few different spices:Hot chili powder (in moderation because I have a 2 year old and a 6 tear old)CuminCorianderandSmoked PaprikaI just like to dump and taste as far as spices go.I love this recipe and it's definitely a crowd pleaser, even for the little people in my life. Loved adding cilantro and salt and pepper at the end, as well. I served over brown rice to make my "boys" more receptive. Fat 60g. I think what I like best about it is that it's not acidic like tomato-based chili. I also notice that RecipeBuilder is listing the 2 tsp of cumin as 1 PPV. We're having a chili cook-off at work on Halloween Day, and I'm torn between this recipe and the Chicken Taco Chili. Thank you!! I am glad I did not use 2 lbs of ground turkey as it was very thick. AMAZING! Can't wait to eat dinner tonight I also double checked the points plus because I saw so many question – It was 5 points without the Sour Cream and 6 points with it! thanks! Absolutely delicious! This recipe requires a little more prep than I usually like for a weekday meal, but I'd probably make it again on a weekend so there isn't as much running around in the morning trying to get everything in the crockpot. I’m curious why when I added this recipe to my Weightwatchers app that it registered as 3 points per cup under the purple plan and not 0 points as the recipe states. Gina – your recipes are absolutely amazing! I followed the recipe exactly. For me, it was missing acid and some sweetness. Also i used a 6quart crockpot if that helps anyone:). It was the word “tasteless” that made it rude. I am currently making this recipe, and it is very runny, after UTI 6 hrs of cooking. Great recipe!
