Pumpkin Black Bean Soup
"This soup is thick and filling and very simple to make. I prefer this with chicken broth, but if you need to make it vegetarian, use vegetable broth."

Yummy, perfect Fall soup! We doubled the recipe and it was the perfect amount for our family of five with a little leftover for the next day. Also added some cilantro to the mix at the end and topped with a bit of sour cream. Thanks for a GREAT recipe that has been added to our favorite soups! -
This is very good. I wasn't sure what the end result would be but I was not disappointed. I could definitely taste the curry (which I love). I don't think my kids or husband would like this but that is okay- more for me! -
Very good and very easy, two of my favorite things! I used 2 cups of pumpkin (because that's what I had thawed and I didn't want to waste the other cup). In the future, I'd probably add just a touch more broth when I do that, as it ended up very thick. But it still tasted fantastic! -
Really good soup. Its a nice change from the usual creamed pumpkin soup. I used fresh roasted pie pumpkin and doubled the recipe. The only change I would make next time is to leave out the sugar. -
I admit I made changes to the recipe, but it was great regardless. I used enchilada sauce instead of diced tomatoes due to a shortage in our pantry. Furthermore, we added the entire can of pumpkin (cuz what would I have done with the rest and I hate to waste.) We then found it not sweet enough (not that it needs to be sweet but just not one note taste either) so we added about 1 Tbsp of sugar. We used bouillon instead of chicken broth. And we used pinto beans instead of black. Come to think of it, not much of the recipe is the same, but it was GOOD. Thanks for sharing. Great for hillbilly Bob with not much stuff in the pantry.
