PUMPKIN & BLACK BEAN SOUP
This is a spicy version of the super-simple soup recipe from The Bake-Off Flunkie. Warm up your winter in two ways with this hot and spicy (and healthy!) soup!
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups pumpkin puree (canned)
- 3 red bell pepper
- 15 oz black beans, strained
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo (canned)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- crème fraiche, for garnish
Directions:
- Roast the bell peppers until their skins are black. You can roast them on the grill, on a hot grill pan on the stove, or in the oven. After removing the peppers from the heat, place them in a sealed pot for 5 minutes, so the peppers can sweat their skins off. Peel, core, and roughly chop the roasted peppers. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a pot. Add the onion and cook until it’s starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned onion bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the pumpkin puree, roasted red bell peppers, black beans, and chipotle pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook it for about 5 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with crème fraiche. Yield 4-6 servings.
