Directions

1.Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté onions and garlic over medium heat for a minute or two. Carefully add the pumpkin, broth, ham and beans. Stir in lime juice, cumin and Adobo. Bring to a boil and lower heat. Simmer at least 20 minutes.

2.Just before serving, remove from heat and stir in cream. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro and onions if desired.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Cook's note: You can prepare the soup ahead of time and wait to add the cream until just before serving. You can reheat leftovers without a problem. You may want to add extra chicken broth to thin the soup when reheating. Do invest in a jar of ground cumin. The flavor is important.
