Pumpkin Black Bean Soup

I took my kids for a fun adventure to Stew Leonards, a fun grocery store in NY that has talking cows and other talking animals throughout the store to keep the kids occupied while I shop. They have their own dairy and so I love to buy milk and yogurts there, but sadly they make a lot of their own foods and none of them are kosher. We did see them sample a Pumpkin Black Bean Soup and since we couldn't taste it we decided to make our own and it was delicious and super easy,
