So here's another pumpkin chili recipe:

Black Bean 'n' Pumpkin Chili
Makes 10 servings
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium sweet yellow pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups chicken broth
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 package (16 ounce) frozen soy crumbles
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1 can (14 ½ ounces) diced tomatoes (undrained)
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
In a large skillet, sauté onion and yellow pepper in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a 5-quart slow cooker; stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low 4 to 5 hours or until heated through. Serve hot.

I love the meatless idea. I try to eat healthy but I fail a lot if I feel deprived. This seems like comfort food that is good for you. My grandson will eat soy over meat. This morning I fixed him soy crumbles in his eggs. When I look at your recipe and compare it to the one from the TV News I have to think they left something out. You have 3 cups of broth that mine does not have. That's about what I add when I make it too.

Ever since I found out the small red beans is the highest food tested for antioxidants, I have been using them in many of my recipes. Here is Web MD http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/ne...expected-foods
