Chipotle Pumpkin Soup

Chipotle Pumpkin Soup
Soup season is in full swing here in New York and this chipotle pumpkin soup was hearty enough for a full meal. Slightly spicy with the addition of chipotle peppers but the sweetness of the pumpkin definitely comes through with creamy avocado being the perfect garnish.

Ingredients
1 14.5 oz can pumpkin puree
1/2t cumin
1/2t salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
3c vegetable broth
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
1 14.5 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 14.5 oz can corn, drained
2c fresh baby spinach


This recipe is so easy you could probably memorize it without too much effort and requires very little measuring. Honestly, just pop all of the ingredients into a big pot and bring to a simmer. Serve with some crusty bread and enjoy!
