Pumpkin Black Bean Soup
"I got this out of a magazine (BH&G??) a few years back, have made a few small changes, and now make huge batches of this to eat, freeze, and give away several times a year. I'm to the point where I quadruple the recipe instead of doubling it now. lol. I hope you enjoy!"

This was a really nice soup! I have a black bean soup recipe I usually use, but wanted to try one with pumpkin. This had a very nice, complex flavor, despite few ingredients. Followed recipe with the exception of white onion for the red as I was out of red onions. Also added an additional 1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder which gave the soup a nice zip! Great recipe, thanks for posting. Will be making again. -
I love this recipe. The texture is smooth and creamy. What a great comfort food. I am pairing this with corn bread! YUMMY!
