One 14.5-ounce can pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 red bell pepper diced
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt to taste
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

One 14.5-ounce can of fire-roasted tomatoes.
1/2 cup water
One medium to large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-3 cups of cubes, or use 2-3 cups of frozen, pre-cut butternut squash.
1 yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
Two teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder (or Dutch-processed cocoa)
3 tablespoons Mexican seasoning
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash cayenne
4 cloves of garlic, diced
One cup of corn (frozen variety utilized).
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed & drained
1 can pinto beans, rinsed & drained
coconut oil for sauteing
2 dashes salt and pepper

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Begin by roasting one medium-sized pumpkin, peeled and cubed, with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper for about 30 minutes or until tender.

Combine all ingredients in a substantial soup pot: ripe tomatoes, abundant water, judiciously selected seasonings, pungent garlic, fresh corn, and tender beans.
Peel & cut squash (if not already), add to a frying pan on medium heat. Sauté with coconut oil over medium heat for exactly five minutes before introducing finely chopped onions and celery to the pan, allowing their flavors to meld together harmoniously. Continue cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
Adding the contents of the frying pan to the soup pot, I bring everything to a rolling boil and let it simmer for exactly 10 minutes. I needed to add just a splash more water.
Adjust the heat to a simmer, then cover and allow the dish to slow-cook for approximately one hour; feel free to extend cooking time to achieve desired tenderness.
Season to taste before serving.
