Cooking Spray
1 large onion (chopped)
6 garlic cloves (chopped)
2 cups butternut squash (peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces)
2 TBSP chili powder
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground cumin
2 cans black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 12 oz can diced tomatoes (undrained)
2 TBSP tomato paste
1 jar chipotle chiles (chopped)
1 c strong brewed coffee
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp ground coriander


Cilantro Cream:
1 c. plain Greek yogurt
1/2 c. fresh cilantro
1/2 lime, juiced
Place in food processor or blender and blend until smooth


Spray large stock pot with cooking spray.
Add onions and garlic, saute 6 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients, simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat,
allow to cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes,
serve with a swirl of cilantro cream.

*Note: If you have picky eaters in your house, blend the chili in a food processor or blender, pour into bowls, swirl with the cream and call it "Velvet Soup". I did this when my nieces and nephews visited and they loved it :D

    Thanks! :D

    By the way, I suppose I should mention you don't have to refrigerate it. You could serve it right away if you wanted to. I take the extra step so the flavors will blend without turning the squash to mush.

    Since I can't modify the recipe I really want to add a side note here: this is HOT if you use the entire jar or can of chipotle chiles. I suggest starting with about 2 TBSP and taste testing to see how much heat you prefer.
