Chili and Soups...Sliders???

[Melissannde 41]

As I love your taco Soup recipe so much... would you share the black bean and pumpkin Soup recipe! Sounds wonderful!!!!

Thanks. This isn't quite as good as the taco soup, but we like it pretty well.

Some tips:

Make sure you have the solid pack pumpkin, not the stuff ready to pour into a pie crust.

I use less olive oil than the recipe calls for.. maybe teaspoon? Not sure how much as I either measure a capful from my bottle (which is way less than a tablespoon) or I use Olive Oil spray.

recipe says to cook it for 4-5 hours in a slow cooker.. we can never wait that long. I just put it all together in a big dutch oven and heat it and eat. :thumbup:

Another change is that I don't worry about having chicken broth.. either I have it and use it, or I don't and add chicken bouillon & Water.

Last time I made it, I used chopped chicken from a store bought rotisserie chicken. Just play around and see what works for you and your family.

enjoy!!
