There is something so cozy about a warm bowl of soup when the weather turns chilly. This recipe pairs the natural sweetness of pumpkin puree with the hearty texture of black beans to create a flavor combination that feels both healthy and filling.

Most people love this dish because it comes together so quickly on a busy weeknight. If you like a little extra texture, try topping your bowl with some crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds or a spoonful of cool sour cream just before you dig in.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and cook until it is soft and translucent, about five minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until it is fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the pumpkin puree, black beans, vegetable broth, cumin, and chili powder.

  5. 5

    Stir everything well and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Let it cook for about 15 minutes so the flavors have time to blend together.

  7. 7

    Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.

  8. 8

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze this soup for up to two months. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to pulse the soup a few times before serving.
