Salsa Pumpkin Soup!

[georgia girl 35]

I bought a cook book over the weekend called Hungry Girl. This girl makes all our favorite recipes in low calorie, low fat versions. I made the salsa pumpkin Soup for lunch today and it was DELISH! So, here it is...

Ingredients

4 cups fat-free chicken or vegetable broth

One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin (I used Libby's)

One 15-ounce can black Beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup canned sweet corn kernels

3/4 cup salsa

1 tablespoon minced garlic (I used a little garlic powder instead)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

In a medium pot, bring broth and spices to a simmer. (if you are using the minced garlic, spray the pot with a little cooking spray and cook garlic for a minute before adding broth and spices).

Add pumpkin and mix well. Add remaining ingredients, stir, and bring Soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Makes 4 very generous servings! (I would guess 1.5 cups or so, maybe even a little more)
