Step 1

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan set over medium heat. Add onions, poblano, carrot, celery, jalapeno, garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 7 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are soften.

Step 2

Add tomatillos, broth and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a boil. Add butternut squash, potatoes, white beans and pinto beans. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour or until vegetables are tender and chili thickens slightly.
