As the weather gradually gets more chilly, I like making soup—all kinds of soup! And this is a soup you may not have tried yet—Pumpkin Black Bean Soup. It’s a savory-flavored soup that tastes a little like chili. So if you like chili and black bean soup, I’m sure you’ll love this!
In addition to the pumpkin puree, which gives the soup a nice creamy consistency even though you don’t really taste the pumpkin much, other healthy ingredients include diced tomatoes, onions, and garlic. Serve this soup with a salad and rolls or crusty bread for a nice lunch or simple dinner!
Pumpkin Black Bean Soup
PUMPKIN BLACK BEAN SOUP by NancyC
Makes 8 servings (2 quarts)
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups (24 ounces) vegetable broth
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of salt and pepper, to taste
For garnish: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
Place beans and tomatoes in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, saute onions in oil until tender. Add garlic and saute 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, pumpkin, vinegar, and bean mixture, blending well. Add cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish each serving with plain Greek yogurt and sliced green onions. Each 1 cup serving is about 240 calories

I never get tired of having soup in the fall and winter months and it’s fun to try different recipes! Have you made any soups using pumpkin as an ingredient?

This sounds so good! I have a bunch of frozen homemade pumpkin puree I need to use and this would make a very good soup for a cold day.
