I really liked the soup. It’s a very simple and easy soup. Nothing gourmet about it, but it is very comforting on a fall night. I made a few minor modifications based of other reviews. I added some smoked paprika, cumin and cayenne pepper with the onion and butter to sauté. I also used a 29 oz can of pumpkin since I really wanted that to come through more and I used a can of diced tomatoes with chilies. All in all it’s a great recipe on the budget while satisfying.

As a vegetarian I am always on the look out for new recipes with beans, this one is fabulous and so cheap. I use dried beans, and if anyone is interested - a 1 pound bag of dry black beans yields 6 cups of cooked beans. A can of beans is roughly 2 cups, so a 1 pound bag is exactly what you need for this recipe. I cook the beans using the gas free method (http://www.recipezaar.com/Basic-Dried-Beans-49960) then use a little water when pureeing as they tend to be a little drier than the canned version. I also use vegetable broth and add 1/4 tsp cayenne and 1 tsp cumin. Delicious, thanks!

An excellent way to use up the end of a can of pumpkin! I added some dried ground chipotle pepper towards the end, and subbed green onion because that's what I had. The pumpkin rounds it out nicely without being overpowering.

As suggested, I made this soup the night before it was served. It was very easy to assemble and very aromatic. I used rice vinegar (simply because I had no sherry vinegar and) and I believe THAT and the pumpkin were what made this soup so different and wonderful. Left out the ham, personal choice, but tore up some fresh semolina bread for "dunking". It was a big hit in my family and we'll be making this again soon.

My whole family loved this soup, even my picky little brother. I decided to go with the vegetarian version of this soup to keep costs down and used apple cider vinegar and tomatoes with diced jalapenos. It tasted great and I'll make it the same way next time. Awesome recipe!

this was deeeeelicious on a chilly fall night when the phillies should have beat the yanks. added one more can of pumpkin puree and only pureed one can of the black beans. added some cumin and some parsley and only used one T. of apple vinegar and 2 T. of sherry. i let it simmer about 2 hrs. i served it w/the allrecipes basic corn muffins and a light salad. the lady to whom i served it is known for her cooking. the next day she called me for both recipes!!!! her husband and my husband both raved about the meal. i meant for the starts above to be 4 and 1/2.

This is a savory, filling, and yummeriffic soup. I personally detest ham and replaced it with bacon for my carnivorous boys (next time I'll try veggie bacon :-) and I was out of sherry vinegar (oh wait, i never had any). soooo good. I served it with whole wheat beer bread (if you haven't tried this it is a must) and my gal pal brought a salad (although by the time it got to be salad-time I was stuffed). Oh, there was copious amounts of wine too :-)

4 stars as written. Boost it up a bit by adding 1/4tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1 bay leaf and double the pumpkin. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is a great base recipe, but as written, I probably would have given the recipe 3 stars. I made the soup and there was just something . . . . missing. Although other reviewers mentioned adding cumin and cayenne, I wanted to emphasize the pumpkin (which is VERY subtle) instead of the black beans. I borrowed from a Bon Appetite pumpkin soup recipe and added: 2 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg, cinnamon, corriander and sage, and 1/4 tsp. of allspice and curry. I then brought it to a boil and turned it low, low (below simmering) for about an hour to let the flavors meld. Wow. Complex, interesting soup. Loved it. Wouldn't recommend adding all the spices if you have little ones, but for a more adventuresome palate the modifications are tasty.

This soup was a very good, tasty comfort food for a chilly day. Even my 6-year-old brother loved it! I used apple cider vinegar, bacon instead of ham, and doubled the amount of bacon. I used crushed tomatoes intead of pureeing them, and I added extra onion and garlic. All in all, a very tasty, easy-to-make soup.

I think the soup was a little runny, I, like others would reduce the number of cans pureed to one and leave the other two whole as well as reducing the amount of beef broth. I realized towards the end that it needed more spice and added thai red pepper sauce for some heat, cumin, smoked paprika and cayanne. I think coriander would be good too...didn't think of it at the time....I didn't seem to taste the pumpkin so I'm hoping the next time I make it the reduction of broth will help bring the flavor through, overall though a very hearty soup. I didn't have any ham so I threw a little bacon in it and it added a nice, smoky flavor.

This was ok. To be fair, I had to use chicken broth instead of beef and I forgot the vinegar. Not sure how much of a difference that would've made. It's a very healthful recipe, so I might tweak it in the future to boost the flavor. On the plus side, it's very easy and quick to prepare. I will skip the puree step next time to make it even easier.
