One of my favorite parts about Fall and Winter is fixing up a bowl of soup and enjoying by the fire.  You all have been such big fans of my Buffalo Chicken Chili,  I thought it would be fun to create a different soup this year.  Mike calls this one the “Pumpkin Sweet Potato Chili”.  This is definitely a comfort food soup and is surprisingly not as bad for you.  Enjoy with your favorite bread or cornbread.
