ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked crumbled chorizo
  • Salt and pepper to taste

instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add in flour and stir, cooking until golden and toasted, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often.
  • Stir in garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Cook for 30 seconds or so, stirring constantly.
  • Whisk in broth until incorporated and thick. Add in chipotle peppers and pumpkin puree, whisking to combine.
  • Stir in shredded cheese and chorizo until the cheese has melted. I like to reserve a little bit of the chorizo and peppers for sprinkling on top!
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy warm.
