Bean and Pumpkin Soup


I bought a bag of beans almost a year ago that was labeled as a soup mix, but I never made it. (After preparing kidney beans and chickpeas that I didn't eat, I just left all the bags of beans to sit on the cabinet shelf.) Then I saw a recipe in November for black bean soup that used canned pumpkin. It sounded really good. I've made black bean soup before. I've made pea soup before. Why couldn't I use my random can of pumpkin (seriously, I'm not sure when or why this small can was purchased) and my bag of mixed beans? I had a cold, I needed something soupy. While it tasted good, this was not the cure for a sore throat. The finished product was like a bean chili. I keep asking LV if he wants some. He keeps saying no.
