This chicken white bean chili is the perfect fall comfort food. It is packed with vegetables and is perfect for warming you up on the cool, crisp fall days. Extremely versatile and so delicious, you’ll want this in your rotation all fall long.
This hearty chili is the perfect combination of rich fall flavors including pumpkin and seasonal spices. I combine it with ground chicken, onions, carrots, and kale for a creamy and delicious soup.
One of the best things about this white bean soup is how versatile it is. You can easily make it completely vegetarian by leaving out the ground chicken and swapping to vegetable broth. Or, if you don’t have the same vegetables I have listed, change them out to use what you do have.
I used Cannelini beans beans in my pumpkin chili but you can easily change those to any other white bean. Just be sure to drain them before adding to the soup.
This pumpkin white bean chili is a great use for your Dutch oven but, you could also transfer the ingredients (after cooking the ground chicken) to a crockpot and finish it that way. Either way, you’re getting to be rewarded with a bowl of delicious fall comfort food.
