What's a chili doing in a soup list? Lol. I've always considered them to be honorary soups. This chili is not only timely, with the pumpkin, but it's also just one of my favorite chili recipes. I know it sounds weird — turkey and pumpkin? — but there are also white beans, zesty spices, sausage, and beer. Pumpkin is actually an incredible base for chili. It's not sweet like pumpkin pie, but rather smooth and creamy and adds so much body and texture. Ten years later, it's still a Casa SoupAddict chilly-weather staple.
