Description

This vegan bean soup is made with creamy pumpkin puree and coconut milk, with a bit of chipotle pepper for kick.

Ingredients

1/2 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 cups black beans, drained
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable broth, or to taste
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Combine onion and 2 tablespoons vegetable broth in a pot over medium heat. Saute until onion becomes glassy, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute; avoid browning the garlic.
2 Add black beans, pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, coconut milk, and chipotle pepper in adobo. Simmer until soup starts to thicken, about 15 minutes.
