I was looking for a recipe NOT like the traditional soups. If you want something different with lots of flavor...you must make this soup! I used crushed tomatoes instead and the soup still came out great.
FABULOUS!!!!!

I used chicken broth instead of vegetable, and I reduced the pumpkin to 1.5 cans. I have to disagree with the people who said there wasn't much flavor! I loved the curry with the pumpkin. I thought this soup was great and I will make it again.

I just made this last night and loved it. If you are looking for an easy and delicious recipe - this is it! My co-worker combines the first set of ingredients - keeps it in the fridge and then does the remaining steps (boil, add cream and spices) for an even quicker meal. I highly recommend this soup!!!
Warms me all the way to my toes!

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe! I did have to tweak it to accommodate dietary issues in our family (I substituted oat milk for the cream. It's a great non-dairy that has the same consistency as heavy cream.) I also added kidney beans and 1 granny smith apple to up the fiber. Overall, fantastic recipe!
One of our favorite soups!

I make this every fall/winter at least a couple of times. It's so simply delicious. I always make this recipe just as it is. Also, a dollop of sour cream with chives on top does the trick. Ina Garten has great crouton recipes that can add to this soup as well.

I love most of Rachael's recipes, but this one left a lot to be desired. The diced tomatoes were too chunky and overall taste was to sharp with the curry powder.

I was very disappointed having read all the glowing reviews of this recipe. There is way too much pumpkin! I tried to salvage it by adding more spices, more black beans, diced green chiles, & corn. The extras helped but still only mediocre at best. With so many good soups to make, this one isn't worth it.
Yuuuuummy!

I really liked this recipe, though I might cut back on the cayenne pepper... it was a bit too spicy. Also, I am really bad at figuring out the right amount of salt to use. Maybe the recipe could give a bit more guidance on the measurement.
Terrific flavor!

But be warned that it makes a LOT. My only issue with it was the appearance. Whatever you do, don't forget the chopped chives to sprinkle on top of both your serving dish (if this is a buffet or potluck) and the bowls.
Not Impressed

I was expecting good things based on all of the great reviews, but I found this soup to be lacking in flavor. I admit that I was a little short on the curry powder; I thought I had enough in my pantry but didn't. I used 1.5 cans of pumpkin based on other reviews that said the pumpkin was too strong. I added another can of beans because 1 can was not worth having in the soup (too few beans to notice). Overall I was not impressed. I would have preferred to make black bean soup.
What a surprise!

User: Christina from Philadelphia, PA User Rating:
This soup was certainly a surprise hit with my husband and me! It's going to be a weekly stand-by. I used one can of pumpkin, 2 cups of broth, and about 2/3 of the can of tomatoes. I also replaced the cup of cream with about 1 1/4 cup of soymilk. This made it completely vegan and guilt-free! We loved the spicy, sweet, and rich flavors!

I added a little sherry, a little tabasco, extra spices, and extra beans. It was really good when I adjusted the flavors. Otherwise, it would have been kinda bland. I used 2% milk instead of cream - made it a healthy and filling meal. I would make this again (my way, of course).

I loved this soup! I had a ton of pumpkin left over from Thanksgiving and this gave me a very different dish to use up the pumpkin. The spices will overpower the flavor of the pumpkin, leaving you with a very Indian feel. If you like Indian food, this is the soup for you!

Another great recipe from Rachael Ray. However, I used only one can of pumpkin on the second try and it was not nearly as thick, but still had all of the flavor. I think reducing the pumpkin allowed the other flavors some room. I have also used this soup to "Yin-Yang" in the same bowl with a black bean puree. The flavors compliment each other and look fantastic together.

I did not alter the ingredients at all. I baked one of our smaller pumpkins, pureed it, and used my stick blender to puree a little bit of the soup, leaving about half of the black beans and tomatoes in their original form. It is a yummy, healthy soup to have on a cold day, and to have on hand for a quick lunch! Thank you, Rachel!!!

Loved this recipe and will make again. Substituted light cream for heavy cream (saved a few calories there, but same flavor), and next time may add roasted chicken and corn. This recipe makes a lot, but also gets better as it sits in your fridge and the flavors get a chance to blend.

I was skeptical even while I was in the process of making it, but it actually turned out better than I thought it would. I only used one can of pumpkin though (since everyone said it had too much pumpkin) and then I added a can of corn and used chili powder instead of cayenne pepper. We ate it with tortilla chips and I feel like that the chips added a lot to this soup. It's a keeper recipe

This soup has become one of my favorite Rachael Ray recipes. As soon as the weather turns cooler, I start thinking about Pumpkin and Black Bean soup. It's easy to make and healthy with the pumpkin, black beans and tomatoes. I always add the cream because it makes it a heartier soup, but the amount of fat can be reduced by substituting half-and-half for the cream or leaving the cream out altogether.
Fantastic

I had a family event in which everyone was required to bring a fall item. I found this recipe and made it before the party. It was so quick and simple I was not in any rush to finish it in time. Everyone loved it! Many were skeptical of "pumpkin soup", but once they tried it they immdeiately asked for the recipe. To add a bit of color I used a can of white corn, pimentes, and a red onion. I will definitely make this again soon.

The thought of putting pumpkin, black beans and curry together was a little scary. I love the ingredients separately and was happy to discover they were wonderful when mixed together in this soup. After reading other reviews I made the following chages: used only one can of pumpkin and cut the cream to 1/2 cup. I used hot madras curry and added a teaspoon of tumeric. The hot curry added a little heat and the tumeric brightened the pumpkin color. I sprinkled toasted pine nuts on top with the chives. It looked great, tasted great and got rave reviews.

As promised by Ms. Ray, putting together this meal is pretty simple. I let mine simmer for longer than she prescribes for her 30 minute meal gig, and also added garlic, celery and frozen corn. The pumpkin nicely lends an added level of creaminess. Cooks up nice and thick, too. Had to buy tortilla chips to use up the leftovers.

I'm a sucker for any pumpkin dish this time of year, but this is one of the best I've had in a while. It packs a ton of flavor, and is a refreshing change from the typical pumpkin-pie-spiced dishes found in so many other pumpkin dishes. I lightened up the dish a little by substituted evaporated milk for the heavy cream. As with most substitutes for cream, I reduced the milk separately before adding it to reduce the chance of curdling. I'll admit that I sometimes find Rachael's recipes a bit out there, but this one hit the spot!
Makes a great base for chili

I also use this soup as a base for chili. I just add browned ground turkey and some drained green chiles. When I use the soup as a base for the chili, I use less stock so that it is thicker.

This soup was Great! I substituted the can of pumkin for fresh roasted butternut squash and everyone loved it! Many times butternut squash soups have the consistancy of baby food but with the texture of the tomatoes and black beans it was a great soup!

I'm rating it a 5 star because it is REALLY good, but as written it's waaaaay too spicy for my family. We put in the full tablespoon of curry and really felt the burn, ha ha!! Anyway, after a little doctoring it was extremely delicious. We had to add some instant potato flakes and sugar to counteract the heat. Next week when I make it, I will start with only 1 teaspoon of curry and go from there. This one was easy enough for my 12 year old to make on her own too, a big plus in my book!

This soup is my favorite! The flavors remind me of Indian fare. I lighten it up by not adding the cream; none of my friends or family have had any complaints. In fact, everyone that eats this asks for the recipe! Also, I use fresh pumpkin and puree it in the food processor. During the Fall, I pre-measure my pureed pumpkin, put it in freezer bags, and freeze it until I need it for the soup recipe - so I can have it any time of year.

This soup is delicious and very easy to make! I made a few alterations, though. I couldn't stand the thought of tomatoes floating in pumpkin soup (I'm a little texture sensitive). I added a small can of tomato paste plus water to equal 15 oz. I also used pumpkin pie mix instead of pureed pumpkin. This made the soup sweeter so I could add a little more cayenne and curry to kick up the heat. I will make this many times!!!

This soup is easy, inexpensive, and delicious! I would defiantely recommend chopped chives and sour cream to go ontop. We did have alot left over, and although the leftovers didnt look that attractive, once we heat them up and garnished our bowls, it still tasted fantastic.

This is a great weeknight soup! It is so quick and easy to make, however, the flavor from the unique combination of ingredients speaks otherwise. My husband raved about this and I put this in my book of recipes that I will difinetly make again!
loved it!

i ended up using only 1 1/2 cans of pumpkin, and also reduced the amount of cream to about 2/3 of a cup. It was awesome! I gently blended the soup to give it a more consistent texture and I'll definitely do that again. Can't wait to have it on day two!
GREAT

I have eaten this soup every day this week (because the recipe yields that many servings) and loved it more every time. It's a nice, filling, spicy soup perfect for a cold day. If made a little thicker it could also serve as a sauce over chicken or rice. I substituted 1% milk for the cream and it still is very yummy. I might add more black beans next time i make it, though. Overall, very yummy!
Very good soup!

This recipe was easy and is very good! I will definitely make it again. This easily serves 6-8 people, but is just as good (or better) the next day.
Fantastic

This soup is not only tasty and easy to make, it is incredibly healthy for you. I did do a substitution and used light cream rather than heavy cream and it was wonderful. We typically double the recipe, but leave the spice to the single recipe measure. My children enjoy this as well. It freezes well and is a great meal unto itself. However, the only change I would make is the name - it isn't appealing to those who are skeptics in trying new things. I tell friends and family it's harvest soup. :)
Spectacular!!!!!

Awesome, yummy, fabulous - can't say enought about this soup. You must use either a fresh pie pumpkin or a large butternut squash. Butternut squash is even better. Canned pumpkin does not do this soup justice. Fresh whipping cream is also a must!
delicious

I was suprised by this recipe. I really thought I didn't like pumpkin, but after this I am searching out all Rachael Ray's recipes with pumpkin as an ingredient!

This was a very delicious soup... As some reviews stated, there is a bit of a pumpkin taste, but it is still good... if you aren't overly keen on pumpkin, cut back... I suggest to at least try the full amount the first time... also, it makes a LOT of soup... I live alone and I have about 6 more large servings left after what I just ate. Try it!
So delicious, so easy!

I was surprised I had all of the ingredients on hand! I made two substitutions.. I had Rotel diced tomatoes and chilis so I used those instead of plain tomatoes.. just made it more spicy but still very good. Also, no heavy cream but used Fat Free evaporated milk instead.. delicious and fat free! I used this recipe for good luck in the new year instead of black eyed peas.. because the store was out of them! I am so glad I tried this recipe.. can't wait to cook it for a party!
