Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Fall finally arrived around here this weekend and no one could be happier than I am. Is there really anything better than yoga pants, hoodies and warm bowls of soup? I am most surely more of a savory enjoyer of pumpkin. It is a vegetable after all! This Chipotle Pumpkin and Black Bean Soup will warm your belly with whole food goodness.
Chipotle Pumpkin and Black Bean Soup
The best thing about this healthy soup is that it could not be easier. Simply toss all of your ingredients into a slow cooker and let the flavors blend together. Your house will fill with delicious aromas. The pumpkin, black beans, chipotle, kale and sweet potato pair wonderfully and offer up a filling bowl of goodness.
When using your slow cooker, there is no exact science. It’s fine to throw everything in and leave on low for 6 or 8 hours or turn it up to high for a shorter cooking time. Since there are no raw meats that need to cook, it is quite a flexible recipe. The sweet potatoes are the only ingredient that needs to soften. If you have not tried these crockpot liners yet-run out and grab them asap because they make cleaning up a breeze.
Filled with real food ingredients like pumpkin, black bean, kale and sweet potatoes, this Chipotle Pumpkin And Black Bean Soup is perfect for the whole family. Vegan, Gluten free and dairy free you can’t go wrong with a bowl of this goodness. What are you waiting for? Plug in those slow cookers and let’s get cooking.

I enjoy pumpkin more in a savory fashion as well and this soup looks perfect for chilly New England fall evenings.
Thanks so much 🙂
I think my comment is in your spam again it thinks I am a bot 🙂
I’ve never used a slow cooker for soups but only because I have a pretty small one. Once I upgrade to a full sized slow cooker, I will be using it constantly for soups!
slow cookers are so easy for soup. You can certainly make this in a stock pot on low and it will be perfect too
Hooray for soup season! I posted a soup recipe today too!
This looks so good. I really need to pull out my slow cooker and now I have an excuse.
I was so happy to finally pull it back out! Happy souping
I’m always amazed at how you are able to come up with some unique recipes week after week!
So am I lol! Thanks so much Kim I am excited for the cooler weather and soup season
Who would have believed last week it would be soup weather today? You know I’m afraid of hot peppers, but I’m willing to try. Are the chipoltes in adobo sauce an ingredient you buy in a jar?
Yes they are in a jar in the Mexican food section. They are not really that spicy but maybe start with one or 2 minced.I am so happy it’s finally soup season
You know I love a good slow cooker soup! I have to try this one ASAP! What a great meal. Thanks for hosting.
I do love my slow cooker too so easy!
Looks like layers of great flavors in there! I’ve not heard of crock pot liners but what a great idea!
They are a game changer no cleanup!
Had pumpkin chili last week and craving it again but thinking I need to make this instead! Looks cozy and comforting.
I was sure ready for cozy and comfy food this week
slow cooker meals are so great! Interesting that you used puree for this! This looks so easy though and something that would be quick to put together! Perfect for this time of year.
So very easy! You could use pumpkin not pureed but since I used sweet potato that’s how I ended up that route
YUM! I’ve been experimenting with pumpkin soup recipes too. I love how simple crock pot recipes are
They really are so easy and hard to mess up
It’s cooled down considerably over here (sigh), but at least that means it’s time for soup/chili!! I love all the colors in this!
Yes it does mean it’s soup season!
How do you come up with these recipes? This sounds so yummy..all kinds of things I actually like LOL
I don’t know sometimes I just throw together what I have and hope for the best 🙂
This pairs perfectly with the cold weather! Love the flavours in this
Thanks so much!
I’m not ready for cold weather! I do like soups, but I would love it if Utah didn’t go from summer straight to winter like it seems to have done this year. Hopefully, we get a warm up soon.
Hope fall hangs around for you for a bit. It’s my favorite season
Wow, what a beautiful Fall soup! Very creative and looks like it tastes amazing! Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for checking it out
i LOVE a good soup – I am just too lazy to make it myself, and then all the ones from takeout are always so fatty! First world problems, I know
And too salty! So easy to make your own in a crockpot
Oh man do I love chipotle. I’ve never put it with these ingredients but think I now need to!
I love chipotle as well it’s a fun flavor to play around with
I am so happy we’re getting into soup season! This one looks like it has a lot of layers of flavor.
I have missed soup season!
Gorgeous pics of this yummy looking soup! I’m thinking about getting an instant pot so I can make soup, etc. this fall!
I have not made the switch to an instapot but I have had my slow cooker for years I love it
OH yes this looks GOOOOD.
thanks so much-so ready for soup season
