1 large onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 (14.5-ounce) cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes and their juice
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Directions
1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

3. Add the chili powder, pumpkin pie spice, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the broth, diced tomatoes with their juice, pumpkin puree, kidney beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, green chiles, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.
5. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.
6. Cook uncovered for 35-45 minutes.
7. Serve warm, topping as desired.
NOTE: To make the recipe in a slow cooker, add the ingredients and stir to combine. Cover the slow cooker with the lid, then set the slow cooker to cook on low for 8-12 hours (or on high for 4-6 hours).
