“This is such a healthy recipe, packed with protein from the beans and with vital vitamins from the pumpkin. The dollop of light sour cream adds a satisfying touch and eliminates the need for any kind of fattening topping.” —Jennifer Fisher, Austin, Texas
Ingredients:
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups vegetable broth
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons bourbon, optional
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup roasted salted pumpkin seeds
Directions:
1. Place beans and tomatoes in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
2. In a Dutch oven, saute onions in oil until tender. Add garlic and cumin; saute 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, pumpkin, vinegar, pepper and bean mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Stir in bourbon if desired. Garnish each serving with sour cream, green onions and pumpkin seeds. Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).
