Black Bean Tomato Soup

A lot of my soups seem very similar...imagine that. ☺

2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans tomatoes
2 heaping tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. chipotle in adobe (I feel a bit of heat, but didn't get enough flavor from this - I should have added 2, but they can be too hot)
chicken bouillon
2 bay leaves
small chopped onion
salt

I cooked all this for a bit, then added some shell noodles, and then some fresh, chopped cilantro at the very end. After taking the photo and eating a bowl, I decided to add about a cup of cooked pumpkin. I have been adding pumpkin to a lot of my soups and really liking it. It really doesn't change the flavor much, but makes it a bit richer and thickens it up. I baked some pumpkin last fall, pureed it, and then froze it in small portions in Ziploc bags. I just pull out a bag and throw it in whatever I am cooking, and it has been great.
