I was looking for a recipe to use my left over Butternut Squash (already made/store bought) soup from a month ago. I did not add the tomato sauces as per people's suggestion and added extra onion, garlic, cumin and added 3 bell peppers. It taste excellent. I gave it 4 out of 4 stars, because I did not make the recipe as instructed. Will make this again. Thanks. (Store bought soup, I mentioned above, is Pacific Organic http://www.pacificfoods.com/our-foods/creamy-soups/organic-creamy-butternut-squash-all-natural-soup)

Excellent recipe - I agree with other reviewers that the chili could use more spice, so I added a bit more chili powder and garlic and extra tomato sauce, and served it topped with a mild green salsa and lite sour cream. Awesome and wonderful texture.

I made this once and followed the recipe almost exactly. The only annoying part was peeling the butternut squash. I was pretty slow at it. The chili turned out fantastic, though.

This chili is basically a miracle, thank you for posting the recipe! Delicious, incredibly healthy, and fast. Easily vegetarian and easily modified for different tastes. This is now one of my stand-bys for parties, potlucks, and just cold days!

Amen! This was great and quick. I had to break down squash and hominy and cook it a little longer than the recipe but when it mixed together it was just special. Nice job! Cooking is all about taking chances and being creative.

This recipe has so many delicious ingredients however it needs tweaking for them to come together and each flavor not stand out too much from the others. Next time I make this and I do want to try it again, I'll cut the squash into smaller pieces, increase the broth to about a cup, use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce and add more garlic and onion. I'll also try simmering it in my dutch oven a little longer too. One tip with the butternut: before you do anything pierce the skin of the squash a few times and put it in the oven at about 400* about the time the turkey is done browning you can take the squash out of the oven (it will be hot) and cut the skin off and chop much more easily.

We loved this!! This is my new favorite chili. The only alterations I made were leaving out the chilis and using leftover pureed butternut squash instead of cubed squash (much easier this way, too). This gave the chili a nice thick and smooth consistency. This was my first time using hominy; I really liked it. We'll definitely be making this again very soon.

This was a really good chili. I did make a few changes, but not too many. I left out the hominy (b/c I am not a fan) and I exchanged the kidney beans for black beans. For peppers, I used fresh Anaheim peppers. This was great fresh and even better the next day!

I think I was too excited based on the reviews. I was good, but not amazing. I am not sure if my squash was ripe enough though- I have never cooked with squash

Very good - I used black beans instead of kidney, omitted the hominy, and added some more spice and it was a tasty autumn treat!

This was awesome! I forgot the chilis and omitted the hominy because I didn't have it, but it was still amazing. Next time I will try the hominy and serve the chilis as a garnish. Can't wait!

This is a great autumn chili! Like most chilis I think it gets better the next day. The squash was a new and exciting addition to chili, and is very welcome. I added a dash of salt and pepper and a 1/2 teaspoon of oregano for my own personal tastes. I can't wait to eat the leftovers!

Great chili! I used the green chilies as a garnish instead of cooking them in the chili. I just used the squash I had and cooked up a pound of dry beans. Easy to make!

I was amazed at how well this turned out. this is a great autumn chili! I made a few changes based on what I had around. Instead of chilies, I just added one serrano pepper, and cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to keep it spicy. I also added allspice, and it *really* brought everything together. i left out the tomatoes, added more beans (I don't like chunky tomato bits). really though, i really think the allspice made it FABULOUS. my boyfriend doesnt much care for ground turkey or squash, but he loved it too.

I like the idea of this chili but think the seasoning needs a little adjusting. I added a couple of bay leaves and some oregano and, if I make this again, I would cut back on the cumin probably by half. (One can always add more if it's not enough.)

This recipe has great flavor. I used black beans instead of kidney (because I didn't have them). I skipped the hominy as well. It didn't thicken up like I would expect a chili to do, but I'm not sure if that has to do with the ingredients I left out or not. I'm making this one again!
