This is a delicious soup with nice warm Indian spices. The pumpkin really adds a creamy texture, but not a distinct pumpkin taste. In order to make it a little more hearty, I added some browned Johnsonville chorizo as chorizot really compliments the black beans and pumpkin well. The soup was just perfect alone -- so this was just my preference. Made for Spring PAC, April, 2013.
