Pumpkin and Black bean soup

Well I thought I was back but we have gone to 5 day a week till Feb. and being out of town does not give me much time to cook. We have been cooking some of our favorites when I have been home so not many new stuff to post. This is one we have seen on a good many blogs out there and we gave this one a try and it was pretty good. It has been cold latley and this was a good new one for us with some good french bread.

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 medium onion finely chopped

3 cups vegetable stock(didn't have any so used chicken)

1 can diced tomatoes not drained

1 can black beans drained and rinsed

2 cans pumpkin puree

1 can corn drained

1 cup heavy cream

1 Tablespoon curry powder (as we are not as accustomed to curry we used half)

1 1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper ( we do like this and added a little more)

salt to taste

we used cilantro as a garnish.

Heat soup pot add oil when hot
