It's nearly Fall....so that means pumpkins. .and, of course Chili (or other soups)
But, this is a combination of both...
Pumpkin and Chili...
Before you say blech....it's actually delicious!
Now, you may not be a lover of pumpkin, so you're excused from this ..although, I must say, you don't taste the pumpkin! It just gives a new texture, a smoothness if you will, to your chili.
I saw one of my favorite cooking influencers make it, and decided to give it a try.
I used my own recipe, though....minus my one special, secret ingredient because I was out of it today...
Thank goodness my resident guinea pig is up for my culinary shenanigans! And, while he may be biased (and may not want to hurt my feelings sometimes... 😂), he LOVES this combo. Truly loves it!
If not, there would be hesitation and a "yea, it's pretty good" comment. If I hear that, it's time to tweak a recipe more!
He was smacking his lips ..again. And, I'm happy for that because I'm adding some new soups to this years Fall menu...
And, this will be one of them. Along with fresh baked breads.
Look for it in our upcoming Fall lineup!
PS: we have to have mashed taters with our chili ...my family's tradition!
