Pumpkin Bean Soup image

A friend of mine makes a similar Southwestern-style soup using sweet potatoes, but I found that processing the potatoes takes a bit of extra work. I came up with the idea to use canned pumpkin and created this wonderful, thick, hearty soup that doesn't take a lot of effort to make. It's full of all that's good for you, so enjoy!

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin soup, but this one is actually pretty good. I might make it again sometime.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out really watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more spices.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I also love that it's a vegetarian soup, so it's a good option for meatless meals.
