Veggie Feast

Felt like making soup tonight............so it's Pumpkin and Black Bean Soup.......sounded really interesting so here we go........

Ingredients
2 tablespoon evoo
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cups canned or packaged vegetable stock
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes in juice
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained
2 cans (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt
20 blades fresh chives, chopped or snipped


Heat a soup pot over medium heat. Add oil. When oil is hot, add onion. Saute onions 5 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes, black beans and pumpkin puree. Stir to combine ingredients and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and stir in cream, curry, cumin, cayenne and salt, to taste. Simmer 5 minutes, adjust seasonings and serve garnished with chopped chives

The Verdict...........I like this flavor combination a lot, very tasty. I could also see thickening this with mashed potatoes, but overall i like this soup. cats on the other hand smelled it and slowly backed away, but hey, can't win the all.


Until tomorrow.......
