Pumpkin Black Bean Soup

Saturday, November 26, 2011

I found this gem on babycenter's cooking board last winter and I've made it countless times. I am in LOVE with this soup!

Pumpkin Black Bean Soup~*~Sandy~*~ via The Six O’Clock Scramble

1 T vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion (about 1 small onion)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
1 can (15 oz) whole tomatoes, drained
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
3 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 tsp cumin (or curry)
2 T dry sherry (can use applejuice, but I think the sherry adds awesome flavor)
**pinch of sugar
Sour cream for serving

In a stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté them until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Chop the beans and tomatoes in a food processor or blender until they are pureed with some chunks remaining. Add them to the onions and garlic. Add the remaining ingredients, except the sour cream.

Mix the soup well, bring it to a gentle boil, and simmer it for 20 minutes. Serve it with a dollop of sour cream.
