Pumpkin Black Bean Soup

1TB oil

1TB butter (I just use the oil, it’s enough)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 can (14.5oz) chicken or vege broth

1 can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes in juice

1 can (14.5oz) black beans drained & rinsed

1 can (14.5oz) pumpkin puree

½ cup heavy cream (I use soy or almond milk)

1-1/2 tsp curry powder

1 tsp ground cumin

3 pinches cayenne pepper (1/4tsp)

Coarse salt to taste

Heat deep pot over medium heat. Add oil, butter, when butter melts add onion & sauté 5 minutes until tender. Add broth, tomatoes, black beans & pumpkin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low & stir in cream, curry & cumin, cayenne & salt. Simmer 5 minutes & enjoy!!

I make my own corn tortilla chips & they taste VERY yummy with this!
