2 LBS soy chorizo *
2 cups white onion, chopped
2 cups red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
¼ cup chipotles in adobo sauce, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 - 15 oz can pure pumpkin puree
¼ cup chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp cayenne pepper
4 cups vegan chicken broth *
1 - 28 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
1½ cups tomato sauce
1 - 28 or 30 oz can of black beans, drained but not rinsed
2 cups frozen organic corn *
Garnishes
Vegan sour cream

Instructions
In a pot on medium heat, add avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add soy chorizo, onion, bell peppers, and celery, breaking up the chorizo into bite size pieces with the back of a wooden spoon. Sautee until the onions are slightly translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
Add chipotles, garlic, pumpkin puree, chili powder, cumin, pumpkin pie spice, and cayenne pepper. Mix to combine, making sure all the soy chorizo, onions, and peppers are coated in the seasonings.
Add broth, diced tomatoes with the juice, and tomato sauce, stirring to combine. Increase heat to high. Once the chili reaches a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add drained black beans and corn. Simmer another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper if you wish.
Serve pumpkin chili hot and garnish with vegan sour cream, cilantro, red onion, and pumpkin seeds.
Enjoy!
Notes
INGREDIENTS
* The brand that I used for this specific recipe is Morninstar Farms Frozen Chorizo Crumbles, but feel free to use any soy chorizo you love or are able to access. Some of my other favorite brands are Trader Joe's Soy Chorizo, El Burrito SoyRizo, and Cacique. You can typically find them in the same aisle with the regular pork or beef chorizo.
* The vegan chicken broth I use is the most are by the brands Better Than Bouillon or Edward & Sons. They are bouillon paste or bouillon cubes. Mix with water according to package directions to make 4 cups broth. If you are unable to find these brands, use whatever brand you like, or sub out for vegetable bouillon or stock.
* You can also used fresh or canned corn for this recipe
