Sassy Salsa Pumpkin Soup

This recipe is from the Hungry Girl cookbook.

Ingredients:
4 cups fat-free broth (chicken or vegetable)
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup canned sweet corn kernels (I added 1 can of corn. This changes the nutritional information.)
3/4 cup salsa (Jack's special is my favorite salsa. I think it makes a difference)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Optional toppings: shredded fat-free or low-fat cheese, fat-free sour cream, chopped scallions

Directions:
Spray a medium pot with nonstick spray and bring to medium heat on the stove. Place garlic in the pot. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and spices, and bring to a simmer.

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

If you like, top each cup with any of the optional ingredients before serving.

It's really easy and low calorie!
