Yum! Yum! Yum! I love anything pumpkin, so I might be a bit biased! But DH loved it too- and he's not so into pumpkin. The kids thought it was too spicy even though I didn't add the cayenne. I might cut back on the curry powder so they can eat it too- or leave it ( I loved the curry flavor) and just make them chicken nuggets! I used half and half and will "temper" it next time (that is- put the half and half in a bowl and add some of the hot soup to the bowl slowly so the half and half warms up slowly. You add about a cup of soup to the bowl then stir the whole thing back into the pot of soup). I would do this because my half and half curdled a bit. It didn't affect the flavor but it makes it look less attractive. I will definitely make this again and again. Thanks! -
This was very good! Really enjoyed it! The only thing I did different was add two cans of black beans. -
I made this vegan (w/rice milk) and added extra black beans. It was wonderful. I served with thin slices of tomato as garnish and even my non-vegan family members enjoyed it (this happens nearly-never!) Thanks for sharing. -
I thought this was great! I added bell peppers, garlic and an extra tsp of cumin. I also used 3 cans of beans and 1.5 cans of pumpkin and no milk. Perfect! -
I too omitted the cream, added about 1 T garlic powder and a spoonful of sour cream when serving, the spices were just right, very good soup

Delicious! I changed the recipe a bit. I used canned "refried" black beans since they were already mashed. Instead of the cream I used vanilla coconut milk. The coconut with the curry and pumpkin smelled and tasted delicious. We served this soup over a scoop of rice. I will definitely make this again! Hard to believe something so easy could taste so good.

I tried this because I am expanding my horizons, and haven't been eating meat. I used homemade vegetable stock, 2 cups of homemade tomato juice, and rice milk in place of cream. I was worried that it would be too thin, but it wasn't. My husband and I both enjoyed this soup. -
I used double the spices and coconut milk and both my husband and I loooved this. I may omit the black beans AND corn, and add green peas instead. This will definetly serve as a nutritious soup in my home!!

Wonderful! Quick and tasty! I didn't have corn. i think it would have been better with, but it was still delicious without. i used soy milk instead of cream, and like i said, it was great - but i bet it would have been even better with the cream. My roommate added shredded cheese to his and said it was just what it needed. i thought it was great as is. Although the flavor of the beans was very evident, next time i might add an extra can of black beans and make it "black bean and pumpkin" soup instead of "pumpkin and black bean" soup. thanks so much!!!!

Interesting flavors...this makes a hearty, satisfying soup and comes together very quickly. I subbed soy milk for the cream (lactose intolerance) and it turned out great. I did not find the soup to be too spicy at all. Very nice blend of flavors and textures.
