WINTERTIME CHI

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 acorn squash, cooked in the oven about 30-35 minutes and peeled and cubed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed ( I used dry beans for mine because that was what I had, which is better, but more time consuming, so the canned black beans are fine as well!)
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 large onion, peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
4 stalks of celery, diced
1.5 cups of low sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth if you prefer)
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Sliced avocado or shredded parmesan option for garnish

Directions:
Warm the olive oil in a large pot. Then add celery, onions, garlic and cooked squash. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the reminding ingredients. Increase heat to high until it boils then turn the heat to simmer for about 30-35 minutes.

ENJOY!!
