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.
