I made a very good pumpkin black bean soup the other day.
Ingredients: sauteed onion and garlic, broth, pumpkin puree, tomatoes, black beans and, believe it or not, balsamic vinegar.Pretty easy to make cus much of it comes from a can. Psst. That's not wine in the glass. I've admired the way others (here and elsewhere) have photographed their food, so i thought i would go for an artsy look, but it's really just clear-colored birch beer (soda) in there

The soup looks yum! We are having cauliflower/cheese soup, I believe. I'll share the recipe if it turns out well.
