Instructions
In a large Stock pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook stirring to break up pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Add onion, garlic, bell peppers, and spices to sausage and cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, pumpkin, beans, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 20 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally.
Check seasoning and adjust to your liking. Serve topped with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and parsley if desired.
