I was SO SO wrong. This soup was delicious. It was tasty, it was easy to make, and super cheap. I figure we probably spent $5 on the whole thing. I will say that the kids did not eat it just because soup is a hard thing for them to handle right now but I will definitely be making this again for the hubby and me!
Here is what you need:
-1 tablespoon of olive oil (or just eyeball it!)
-1/2 onion chopped
-2 cloves garlic minced
-1 15 ounce can black beans (I didn't drain mine)
-1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes (if you have time and want to chop a tomato, you will need 2 cups diced tomato). I dumped my can in with the liquid
-1 15 ounce can pure pumpkin puree
-1 tsp cinnamon
-sprinkle of chili powder
- 2 C water
Here is what you do:
1. Heat the olive oil and saute the onion and garlic until tender
2. Put in the pumpkin, beans, tomatoes and spices. Stir these together for about 2-3 minutes and then add in the water.
3. Let the soup simmer for 40-60 minutes.

That is it and that is perfect for a mommy with two kids running around like crazies. We served this with little mini frozen biscuits and a simple spinach salad. Seriously it was perfect on a chilly day. Can't get easier or better than this. Please try it and tell me if I'm crazy? Maybe it is just me but this made me happy and cozy and it hope it does you too!
