Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the bell pepper and onion, cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the garlic and cumin and cook, stirring, for an additional 2 minutes.

  2. Pour in the pumpkin puree, black beans, corn, chicken broth, tomato sauce, and 1 teaspoon cilantro, season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes.

  3. Garnish each bowl of soup with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream and additional cilantro, if desired.

Recipe Yield

Recipe Note

A friend of mine makes a similar Southwestern-style soup using sweet potatoes, but I found that processing the potatoes takes a bit of extra work. I came up with the idea to use canned pumpkin and created this wonderful, thick, hearty soup that doesn't take a lot of effort to make. It's full of all that's good for you, so enjoy!
