I loved this soup. The only change I made was I used FF half and half. It was still very good and hearty.

Based on several other reviews, I did the following when I made this dish:
Used one can pumpkin, two cans of beans, two cans of tomatoes, and used 1% milk instead of cream.

Delish. Very spicy, although my family likes that. I went the full amount with the curry, cayenne and cumin. We really liked it. I served it with a dollp of sour cream, which cooled it down.

I've been looking for two separate recipes to try: one for pumpkin soup and one for black bean soup. So I have to say I was intrigued with this combo.

I was also very skeptical, especially about the seasonings. I know that, because we don't use alcohol or tobacco, a lot of recipes are too strongly seasoned for our tastes. But I like using this website because of all the reviews. So, for my first attempt at this recipe, I followed the tips from other reviewers.

I cut the pumpkin down to one 15-oz. can and used two cans of black beans. I also used one can (two cups of veggie stock. We also don't eat dairy, so I used 1 cup of soymilk. For the seasoning, I cut the curry powder and cumin down to 1 tsp. each, and used just 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper. Most, if not all, of these alterations were based on other reviews.

Wow! I have to say that this turned out to be an absolutely delicious soup! It's a brand new flavor combo that we've fallen in love with. (We topped it with croutons and chives. Like many other reviewers, this has gone into my permanent recipe binder and I'm keeping my shelves stocked with the ingredients to make in a hurry. Next year, to make it more special, I'll be serving this on Halloween in a hollowed-out pumpkin 'tureen."

NOTE: I gave this four stars because I could not recommend it as it is given. Definitely five stars with the alterations.

I used skim milk and mashed potatoes to thicken, I really liked the soup. I made it on Halloween.

Normally, I am a huge fan of Rachael's stoups, but this just wasn't as good as I had hoped. The texture was similar to baby food, and the flavor just wasn't something to write home about. Next time, I will try out another recipe---but probably one of Rachael's.

Simple and quick to make, substituted 2% milk for cream so may not of been as rich as the recipe, but definitely healthier. Good vegan quick meal.

I don't know why... I like all of the ingredients, but not together. Soup wasn't good at all. I even cut down on the curry because I didn't want to make it too strong, but it still was.
