I made this recipe last night, and the only change I would make is to double the recipe! My husband and I each had two bowls for dinner and a bowl each at lunch today. I’m so sad it’s gone. Easy and delicious!

This is a nice chili; elegant and subtler than some of the other chilis I’ve made. I have made chili with butternut squash before, but never cut the pieces this small; I like it! It creates a nice carpet with the other vegetables. I make my own chili powder, so I can control the heat. I used chipotle powder instead of the adobo, because that stuff melts my tongue! I did a mix of black and flor de mayo beans for a contrast of color and flavor, and I added a tablespoon of cacao powder with the other spices, for depth. At the end I added chopped cilantro and lime juice to brighten it a bit. Delicious! Thank you for the recipe.

It has become a bit of a tradition in my household to make this chili as soon as there is a hint of fall in the air. The cozy cinnamon, smoky chipotle and sweet butternut squash make such a fantastic combination. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I make this often for my husband for lunches as it is his favorite! The only change I made is to use canned tomato sauce instead of chopped. It was all I had on hand one time and he prefers it. Wonderful recipe!

I make this recipe almost every week for lunches. The only change I have made is substituting a can of fire roasted tomato sauce for the can of diced tomatoes. This is a wonderfully popular recipe with family and friends. Thank you Kate!

I made this for a friend about a year ago. She is now going through chemo and feeling rough. When I asked her what I could make, “anything her heart desired,” she asked for this chili! Thanks for a great recipe!

In reply to Lorraine. Hi Lorraine, yes you can double all the ingredients. Just make sure you have a large enough pot.

I have made this recipe multiple times. I am wondering if I want to double the quantity, do I double everything?
