Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 small pumpkin (about 1 pound), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups cooked Anasazi beans, or two 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed
  • 6 cups Vegetable Stock or low-sodium vegetable stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 green onions (white and green parts), thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Place the onion, carrot, and celery in a large saucepan and sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking to the pan.

  • Add the cumin, tomato paste, pumpkin, beans, and vegetable stock and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 25 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
