Clean Butternut Squash Chilli w/ Kale

Ok, so today was a really chilli day, and it definetely felt like a soup kind of day, looking around for a good recipe, I came across this one. And it turned out GREAT!
I think the only thing I'd do different, I would add bison grounded meat to it. It did taste great as is, but I am going to try some meat next time for sure! So without any further due, here we go:

Ingredients:
1 large onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic, chopped/crushed
2 bell pepper (1 red 1 green)
1 jalapeno diced
4 cups butternut squash cut into 1-inch chunks
3-15oz cans of beans, rinsed and drained (black, pinto and kidney)
1 tbsp of curry powder
2 tbsp of chilli powder
1 tbsp of cumin
1 15oz can diced tomato
4 cups of veggie broth
1 bunch of kale chopped
2 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 lb bisson grounded beef
Makes 10 cups

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once heated, stir in onions, jalapeno and garlic along with a pinch of salt. Allow to cook for about two minutes or so.

Stir in bell peppers and cook another two minutes. Add bison meat and cook, stirring occasionally until browned. Add squash, curry, chilli powder, and cumin and give everything a good stir.

Add beans, tomatoes and broth. Turn heat to high and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until the butternut squash is tender, about 20 minutes.

Add kale to the pot slowly giving everything a good stir, cover for about 5 minutes or until it wilts down. Give everything one last stir....taste it.... does it need anything else? If not, Enjoy!
