The Whole Enchilada Soup

My boyfriend's mom gave me this recipe and I wanted to post it for safe keeping. The recipe makes a LOT but you're probably going to want to go for seconds or thirds... so plan accordingly. The pumpkin might seem strange but it helps thicken the soup and you can't even taste it. Make sure you get PURE pumpkin, not Pumpkin Pie Mix like I did the second time I made this, otherwise it will be too sweet.
