Instructions
  1. Coat the bottom of a large pot with oil and place over medium heat. When oil is hot, add onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  2. Add broth, pumpkin, beans, chipotle powder, cumin and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer, lower heat and allow to simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Ladle into bowls and top with toppings of choice. Serve.
Recipe Notes

The chipotle pepper adds a bit of heat. If you aren't into that, try cutting it with some smoked paprika.
