This black bean chili is hearty and warm- perfect to fill you up on a cold day! It also has a secret ingredient that makes the soup a little more creamy and a lot more healthy: PUMPKIN. You can’t taste the pumpkin at all, but it makes this soup incredibly good – and good for you! When my wife made this for our family, she didn’t mention that there was pumpkin in it until we were all finished . . . if she hadn’t said anything, I would have never known! It’s a great way to get more vegetables and
