Vegetarian Pumpkin Chili

- 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
- medium onion, chopped
- 1 can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can corn
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 can pureed pumpkin
- 1 tblsp pumpkin pie spice (or dashes of nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice, cinnamon)
- 1 tspn cumin
- 1 tspn cayanne
- chili & chili flakes to taste
- 1-2 tbsp sugar
- sea salt & fresh ground pepper

Throw in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer at least one hour. Something's missing in the flavour, but you can spice until you figure it out. I'm not yet sure.

Why am I making pumpkin chili in January? Because I thought I was thawing pasta sauce from the freezer. Turns out it was pumpkin. A lesson in labeling.
