🍲 Hearty Harvest Pumpkin Chili

Cozy up with a bowl of fall goodness 🍂

Nothing warms you up after a day at Jumbo’s like a steaming bowl of Hearty Harvest Pumpkin Chili. It’s the perfect mix of cozy comfort and fall flavor, and yes — it’s got pumpkin in it! 🎃 Don’t worry, this isn’t a dessert chili. The pumpkin makes it creamy, hearty, and oh-so-perfect for chilly nights by the fire.

Why Pumpkin Chili? 🎃

Pumpkin is secretly a superfood! It’s full of vitamins, adds creaminess without dairy, and sneaks veggies into your comfort food. Plus, it just tastes like fall in a bowl.

🍁 So grab your pumpkins, round up the family, and make a pot of this hearty chili. It’s perfect for Sunday dinners, Halloween night fuel, or warming up after a long day of pumpkin picking at Jumbo’s.
