The flavors in this soup are remarkable. One wouldn't think black beans, pumpkin, tomatoes would make for a great soup - a wonderful surprise. I enjoy curry but wouldn't say I'm a curry lover so was concerned it would be too strong; but it was quite mild. A definite repeat recipe!

How could something so easy taste so great! We did cut the spices down by a third because we thought they would overwhelm the other flavors. Sauted celery and garlic with the onions. Ended up using low-fat refried black beans and decided this worked very well--will use them in place of the regular black beans when we make the soup again. Omitted the heavy cream and let each person stir in a dollop of sour cream as desired. We will definitely make soup again. It is hearty, has a unique and delicious flavor and is very filling.

Oh, my! This is such a great soup. And so easy. I served it with a crusty bread and no one could stop eating! Even though my 7 yr old thought it was a little spicier than he's used to, he went back for seconds.
